We're on our way! GPS shows the old Santa Fe trackage.....moving right along now at 70 mph...
I think there is a switch at Joliet to get from the former Alton(GM&O) route to the former Santa Fe through Chilli.If rerouted onto the former Santa Fe, how would they get onto it from CUS? They lifted the rails between Corwith and 21st St, which was the reason why the SWC was rerouted onto the former Burlington in the first place, since that stretch was only used by Amtrak. Go out the former GM&O and get onto Santa Fe somewhere before Joliet?
Or if you had a room on #6!Just saw that yesterday's #6 arrived at Chicago around 8:30 THIS morning. It made it through my station of Mt Pleasant only 40 min late. That made for a long quiet night. :mellow: If no connection needed, an extra night on the train would be fine.
And they didn't run out of food, or overflow the sewage...Or if you had a room on #6!Just saw that yesterday's #6 arrived at Chicago around 8:30 THIS morning.
