Railfan chase vehicle
Title:  Railfan chase vehicle
Description:  In a recent set in the "The Chase Is On" album, I have a shot of my Toyota RAV4, a 2013 that I recently gave up to my wifes son, who was needing a newer car. This is what replaced it, a 2024 Subaru Outback Touring XT. I plan on doing a lot of touring and chasing in it. Its next to the lead unit on the 181 train at Wolf Creek
