Author: wa4umr There should be some on the way to Chicago this week for the Kentucky Derby train. My guess is that it will leave on the rear of the Hoosier State on Wednesday, the 4th. Should depart Louisville on Saturday evening, the 7th, arriving in Indianapolis and Chicago on Sunday.
Nyquest is the favorite in the Derby but the favorite hardly ever wins. Put your money on him to place (2nd place.) I don't bet them but that's my free advice. Just remember, you get what you paid for. John Date: 05/01/16 22:50 Re: Was this #4 or 6 with 4 units and pvt cars? Author: wpjones The first one is the Caritas. The last two were the Central Pacific and the Suits Me which are both based in Omaha.

It could be No.4 or No.6. The PV's on the rear are, in order Caritas Northern Dreams Northern Sky Promontory Point Suits Me Date: 05/02/16 08:22 Re: Was this #4 or 6 with 4 units and pvt cars? Author: 4400horsepower Looks like this was shot at Cameron, Illinois from the scenery. If it was, train was #4.

Author: Agent I'm going to guess it's the Southwest Chief based on the order of the Superliners.
