walk along after the ride

 

This was the 2:30 train. (2nd of the day)

It originated from the Joliet Intermodal (global 4)

Went south through Wilmington IL, Braidwood IL, Gardner IL, to Dwight IL.

Then changed direction to head back to G4. Each way took a little over 30 minutes.

The way down to Dwight I rode in the Dome car behind 7400. A great experience.

They handed out a few gifts during the ride.. A UP/OLS bag with some small goodies and a UP/OLS hat. Very nice.

 

LUCKY!!!! mg:

On Board

 

Real nice - thanks for sharing. Next time something like this is available PM me. I live about an hour west in Sterling. My brother lives in Plainfield but has no interest in trains.
THANKS!!!

 

Theyve had these for the past few weeks on each of the Chicago area UP subs.. All of the volunteers said they are going to try and get it back next year too..

I'll keep you updated.

 

Thank you - this would be great fun!
