    #22 past Saint Louis this morning has two units, so I guess this is a permanent thing.

    Texas Eagle discussion

    21/22 have had two locomotives the last few days. I wonder what's up with that? Do they finally have enough Chargers onboard that the Eagle now gets two P42s again?

    Late 22 (9)

    I see that 22 coming to Chicago is almost 7 hours late. It was late out of the gate in Texas, and things have progressively gotten worse. Does anyone know what happened?

    #300 & #302 right behind each other

    I was going to ask the same question. When leaving St. Louis today I noticed that the 22 and 301 were passing each other on the MacArthur Bridge.

    Crazy Surprise On Amtrak 383 today!

    Amtrak 391 (also in Illinois) had a CN unit leading for part of its journey south and then for its journey north as 392 today. It is uncommon, but it does happen.

    Parking at Centralia and Effingham, IL

    You will be perfectly fine leaving a car at either station. Both have ample parking for their needs.

    Where to park a car, with connections to CZ?

    Galesburg would be a good place. It's very safe with plenty of parking. My brother's car was left there for 2 weeks and was just fine.

    Capitol Limited & Lake Shore Limited Delays Summer/Fall 2014

    NS has begun routing trains that connect to BNSF in Chicago farther south with new connections in St. Louis or Kansas City. This is apparently in effort to relieve some congestion on the Chicago line.

    IL investing $102 million to doubletrack more of CHI-STL corridor

    The Lincoln Corridor isn't very busy with UP freights. Most UP freights take the old MoPac (C&EI) line farther east through Villa Grove. I think the Springfield line only has 4 or so regularly scheduled freights each day.

    Scanners

    I have the same model as you. It can hold 300 frequencies. There are only 96 AAR channels. That should leave room for your other frequencies. if you assign #1-96 for the AAR channels.
