Something from yesterday.
Yesterday I found myself in Rondout before heading to work for a long night shift, because CPKC 249 had a surprise leader in the form of CP 6073, a multimark SD40-2. This came after it lead an I56 early in the morning and given it was the only engine on the train to have functional PTC, they let it lead 249 up so this was a really nice thing to catch before work! As a little bonus, Amtrak 335 showed up as well with 514 in the lead, talk about a double whammy! Enjoy!
Now here are the trains in order.
Train 1: NB Hiawatha
Power:
AMTK B32-8WH #514
IDTX SC-44 #4631
Trains 2 and 3: NB Mixed Freight meets Inbound Metra
Train 2's Power:
CP SD40-2 #6073 *ex-CP 5845*
KCSM ES44AC #4896
Train 3's Power:
METX CabCar #8511
METX F59PHI #89 *ex-AMTK 466*
Taken on 11-26-25
