IRM Diesel Days 2023 Day 2: 8/12/23

Day two!

It's the second day of IRM's Diesel Days event and just like the first day, it did not disappoint. One of the more surprising things about today was that at the last minute, it was decided that recently acquired IRMX 30 would have the honors of leading the first train of the day and it's first train at the IRM, which was a real nice treat to see! Aside from that, the rest of the day wielded some great action along the IRM's mainline, including some throttle time sessions with CNW 7009 which had just regained it's CNW heralds all leading up to a spectacular finale with three F-Units and three Geeps tackling a combined Coach Train/Nebraska Zephyr consist, which was a sight to behold. But this weekend isn't over just yet. Enjoy!
