It's freezing out now.

A cold snap is set to hit the area in the coming days, so I decided to head out to Rondout after hearing that a couple of neat trains were heading up the C&M, including a 149 with a CPKC GEVO, 249 with an ACU leading, 7022 leading 247, and a rare appearance of an extra CPKC I62. Despite the bitter cold weather and the wind, this was a pretty alright day out on the CPKC. Enjoy!
