Nostalgia & History > mFile: GM&O E7 w/Amtrak train whereizit?Date: 12/08/12 05:30 mFile: GM&O E7 w/Amtrak train whereizit? Author: valmont GM&O E7A #103A Help Wanted: location and what train is it? Is the B unit one of the MILW ones in UP yellow? Amtrak did get a couple of them, and when I zoomed the shot the # could be the 34B and the lettering location and sizing looks like 'The MILWAUKEE Road'. A Dick Wallin shot?

I have shots of a couple of the Amtrak trains at Joliet Union Station with pool GM&O/MILW power on the train, which Amtrak ran as a run through from Milwaukee to Springfield. And then there were the turbo trains. Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Date: 12/08/12 16:55 Re: mFile: GM&O E7 w/Amtrak train whereizit? Author: jo-tower It is not the "Abraham Lincoln". The "Abe" was the afternoon departure from Chicago.
At that time the train had a ex-Q dome parlor. This is the SB "Prairie State" at Springfield. CJV Date: 12/08/12 18:20 Re: mFile: GM&O E7 w/Amtrak train whereizit? Author: MEKoch Obviously a UP diner with three coaches.
