Yesterday, I got words that NS 8025, the Monongahela heritage unit, was scheduled to be at the Houston area in the afternoon. So Caden (Southeast Texas Rail Productions), Cole (Piney Woods Railfan), and I set foot at Dayton first, then planned a chase of it into Houston. Hope you enjoy.

After I arrived at the heart of Dayton, I caught the MLIEWB-16 heading west through the town.

3:25 Now the catch we were waiting for. UP MLIHO-16 heads west through Dayton with the Monongahela heritage unit leading solo! After this passed, we started a chase of it to Houston.

11:03 Getting into the Houston area, we caught the rerouted MSZSH-15 heading east through Mesa with my first time to catch a KCS Tier 4 leading a train.
