Passenger Trains > Sierra Hotel PV Trip w/ Charter Wire Cars

On Sunday the 24th I was along with the crew of the Sierra Hotel bound for MSP, although I had to get off in Milwaukee to get back home by Monday morning. Nice ride with a torrential downpour in Sturtevant, IL and two dark signals in Pleasant Prairie, WI. This resulting in a 15 minute late arrival into Milwaukee. When I got off in Milwaukee I saw two Charter Wire cars returning from a quick overnight trip/stay in St. Paul. Charter Club and St James Place were on the rear of Amtrak 8 into CHI on the 24th. I will be making a video that will be on YouTube sometime this week. The video will be on my YouTube channel with the link down below. 

You will notice the dumhead is missing, its being cleaned and LED's will be installed in the well behind the head. It will be brighter than the 3 bulbs from what I understand.
