Best Catches of 2017

Описание: Well I was able to get this made, and relatively quickly too. I'd say 2017 was one of my best years railfanning, with me being able to get all kinds of good lash-ups and old & rare power, both leading and trailing, along with seeing both oil and ethanol trains for the first time. I was also able to get up to New Jersey and New York this year to railfan. But anyways, here's what I consider to be my best catches from the year:
