Out and about once again.

A couple days ago, I got word of a special run involving Canadian National 250 Units their OCS Consist were gonna be making a special "Whistle Stop" run up to Michigan for the 250th on Tuesday. So, seeing as I had the day off, I decided to head out to Indiana to snag them. I didn't plan on chasing them regardless, so a good one and done was fine with me before I decided to bounce around the area to see what else I could find and surprisingly, a couple of neat things did show up throughout the day. Enjoy!
