It's the first of the month.
Today I got word of an interesting arrangement with the Northbound Borealis as it only had one engine in the form of Amtrak 518, something that hasn't been seen since the first Southbound run of the Borealis back in 2024, so I made my way to Rondout to snag it with the knowledge that Rondout tower doesn't have much longer. Later I had gotten word that 247 had a rebuilt UP AC6000 in charge of the train, so I made my way back to snag that by the tower as well, gotta make the most of this tower while I can. Enjoy!
Now here are the trains in order.
Train 1: NB Borealis
Power:
AMTK B32-8WH #518
Train 2: NB Mixed Freight
Power:
UP AC4460CW #7071
Mid-Train DPU:
CP ET44AC #7586 *CPKC Paint*
Taken on 8-1-26
