MACs, GEVOs, and Airos.

Today I made my way out to Rondout with the intention of getting CPKC 2GPS with a pair of KCS SD70MACs making their way South towards Bensenville. After getting those, I went back out later in the day to snag Amtrak 7 which had the new Cascades Airo Set trailing behind the leaders, as well as Amtrak 130 trailing third, and getting 249 before them as a little bonus. Not a bad day. Enjoy!

Now here are the trains in order.
