Recorded on 5/17/18
The Windy City Express hosted by the Friends of the 261
was on Amtrak Empire Builder 8 today so our very own,
Andrew Mangalindan headed out trackside to catch it while
we could due to Amtrak’s new policy on special trains and
private varnish excursions, this may be the last time we seen
the Milwaukee Road coaches. We’ve caught them in Lake
Forest and Rondout so far so why not try a different location.
So we headed to Wadsworth, Illinois, the closest spot on the
CP C&M Subdivision close to home. While we were there,
the action was slow. While four freight trains got squeezed in
while we were there, it was basically Amtrak action.
