New Tier 4s, a doubleheader, and a caboose.

Today we made a quick visit to Rondout after getting word of two special trains running, one of them being CPKC 149 with you guessed, another new pair of CPKC Tier 4 GEVOs, and the other being CPKC IM22 to Grayslake, with a SOO Line Caboose on the end of the train, which was a very pleasant surprise. In addition to those, some other trains made an appearance on this dreary Thursday afternoon. Enjoy!
