City of New Orleans

Got on the CONO at Champain about 30 minutes late. Train was pretty full. But several people got off at Mattoon, Effingham and Centraila so we were able to spread out. Got to Carbondale about 32 minutes late and several more got off. I heard on the scanner we are waiting on a van from East ST Louis with several people. They said it broke down somewhere and had to have another one come out. Said it probably wouldn't get here till about 2:30. I got lucky and picked up a wireless signal, so I thought I would put this out there.

Just got to Memphis at 6:35 and got another signal, so here is a little more. I thought we lost an hour at Newbern, but we got to Memphis only about 15 minutes late, so we must have gained some time back.
