Crossing lllinois river at Chillicothe.
Just passed streator. Its getting dark now. If you chicken on the link you'll be able to see all of the pictures.
We are sitting at Joliet waiting for an engineer. The train is blocking the rock island tracks.
We are on the move. Considerably better than yesterday.
This train keeps false starting. If it was a football team it would be flagged for illegal procedure. Twice. Swc ball 1st and 40 to go for first down. Still sitting in Joliet.
Arriving Chicago at 6:49 pm.
Here is a youtube video of Sundays version of the combined 3 and 5.

That is a crazy long consist! Sounds like you had a fun trip.
Sure did.
That is one long consist! I wonder if the rear engines helped at all, or if the two leading locos provided HEP to the whole thing and dragged the Zephyr as dead weight.
