A Hung Unit and a Leslie.

Last night I had gotten word that UP's Western Pacific Heritage Unit was going to be leading today's ALPR to Proviso, so I made my way to the Milwaukee Subdivision to snag them at Lake Bluff. After that I expected nothing else of notoriety would show up, until I was given a tip off of a CPKC 343 having KCSM 4506 in the lead, the only KCS AC44 (afaik) that has a Leslie RS3L, so I made my way to Rondout a little bit later to snag it. Not bad for today. Enjoy!

Now here are the trains in order.
