Night Railfanning At Columbus, WI Ft, KCS 4859 (Safety Starts Here) Leads CPKC 249 & More

Taken on 1/16/26 Normally I don't go catch trains in the dark but today's CPKC 249 had something special and I didn't want to miss it. CPKC 249 had KCS 4859 ES44AC (Safety Starts Here) leading along with KCSM 4544 Grey Ghost AC4400CW trailing. It's been about almost three years since I last saw KCS 4859 so it was nice going after it again. We also wanted to see the Columbus station with all the new lights they installed after finishing construction in August 2025. Its definitely a decent spot to shoot trains in the dark now considering there aren't to many places you can go where night railfanning has good light. Before 249 showed up we also caught Amtrak #7, CPKC 247, and Amtrak #8 which was running 7 hours late. It was definitely an interesting day on a cold snowy night at Columbus, WI on the CPKC Watertown Sub.
