A Boring Catch Made Exciting 2.0
Title:  A Boring Catch Made Exciting 2.0
Description:  Our next target on the rails was the M-NEWNEW running down to Wichita from Newton. Out of all the power that was in Newton on this day, the H4 duo ran this job. Thankfully, 1659 with its rare horn was the leader, and a waybilled GP25 was third in the consist.
