I guess the trip has officially started with the first AAPRCO sighting?

Picked up my ABQ/LAJ tickets at the Austin Amtrak station this evening ... easy as pie on the Quik-Trak machine.  I timed it so I would get to see 21 come through. At the end of 21 were two private cars, probably on a roundabout trip to ABQ. They were red and grey, a dome and a single level car, and said Northern Sky Charters on the side.  A little research told me the dome was Northern Sky and the other car was Northern Dreams.  Kind of caught me by surprise so the picture is poor.
