Two 250 Units and a coalie.

After two days of Big Boy shenanigans, I had gotten word that BNSF 2026 was making it's way back to Chicago on Z-LACWSP, so I made my way to Lockport to snag the locomotive with it's hotshot intermodal in tow. After that I had gotten word that CPKC 246 had KCS 7626 in the lead and they were waiting for a window at Deval, so I made my way to Howard Ave in Des Plaines to get them making their way through, as well as snagging a NB UP coal train shortly after they had cleared. Enjoy!
