    In this video, around the 25:25 mark, you can see what appears to be an IDOT car with permanent coupling for a married pair. You can also see a cab car under construction

    That amfleet car in the middle just looks wrong. It would be a little better if it was on the end.

    I feel like the state of Illinois should've just purchased the line from UP, like what Michigan did.

    RFP issued for Amfleet I replacement

    The press releases keep mentioning dual mode locomotives and saving time when switching between electric and diesel. Sounds like they are electric multiple units, it something similar.

    RFP issued for Amfleet I replacement

    Considering that the city splinters are relatively new, and I'm surprised Amtrak is ditching them already.

    This image, taken in 1965, also claims to be of Randolph street, but I can't tell what i'm looking at.

    Canadian Pacific buying Kansas City Southern?

    Personally, having one of the two Canadian railroads buy KCS would be better for shipping because then they would operate in all three major North American countries.
