Railfanning the CPKC Watertown Sub Ft, Amtrak #8,
Taken on 12/29/24
Our final trip of 2024 takes us to Columbus, WI where me and my friend were trying to catch CP 6644 WW2 Memorial Veterans Unit leading 149. Before 149 came we saw Amtrak #8 which had to slow down sooner than expected because there was an elderly woman having trouble crossing the tracks at the station. We also saw #1333 after that arriving and departing the station. Once both Amtrak trains passed we saw 149 with CP 6644 leading. This would be the first time me catching 6644 leading as it saw it as a DPU in Columbus back in July 2022 which I was very happy about.
