Ed K. cp Laurel Run Date: 09/08/08 08:16 Re: More Demos headed to Chicago Author: Nictd1000 Model 1GS7B painted for BUNGE Corporation, numbered
8002. The first NRE single engine gen-set, built on a used EMD SW type frame, and trucks.

The RSI (Railway Supply Institute...used to be called the Railway Supply Association or RSA) holds their annual convention later in the month. Every 4 years (and this is one of 'em) they have a large exhibit area set up by the Amtrak facility for all the mfg's to display their wares.

Ryan Date: 09/08/08 20:03 Re: More Demos headed to Chicago Author: kevink The equipment displays will not be at Metra's 14th Street Yard (just south of Roosevelt Road) as they have been for the last ~20 years. This year's display will be at the Belt Railway's Clearing Yard at Central Avenue and 69th Street and will not be publicly accessible. Your best view might be from a seat on a Southwest flight coming into Midway Airport 8-)

Some years they had the higher level cars, like auto racks, at the Amtrak facility just east of there. In prior years, the displays used to be at Illinois Central's Central Station at Roosevelt & Michigan.
