New Venture Cars To Chicago Today? (3/27/23)

It looks like Chicago received some new venture cars today? I'm assuming they are headed to the Amtrak yard there.





Seen using the wye on the racetrack in Chicago.

I look forward to their entry into service, June 2026.

Might be the same cars seen on their way to delivery through Pacific Junction, Iowa back on Friday.

I think that is the same set of cars that were reported sitting in the BNSF yard on another forum. These are business-class cars.

Yep. It looks like it, especially with them being unique with the UP lead.

@Steve4031 I appreciate the update.

Good.

A funny moment in education related to these cars in a very indirect way.

I coteach with a lady who is a very good teacher. Yesterday, she was fussing at some of the girls "wearing lingerie" under heavy coats and then wanting the windows open in classes. She stated that "Mr. W and I would talk about students who did this and insisted on the windows being open." I noted that as a male I was not about to notice anyone's lingerie and that the only thing I would concern myself with was the disposition of those venture business-class cars sitting in the yard at 21st street. Needless to say, I got some blank looks.
