Passenger Trains > "Tidbits..."

The Iowa Pacific "Hoosier State" equipment, and a nice punctuation point on the rear of the Empire Builder.

1.  I-P's Indy-Chicago Test Train arriving Chicago this morning...

2.  I-P "Hoosier State" equipment being turned at "MH" Tower a few minutes ago...

3.  PV's "Super Dome" and "Cedar Rapids" sail through the Healy Metra Station on the ex Milwaukee Road main line on the rear of today's Amtrak Train #7.

Nice, but why the need to turn the IPH train, one wonders.

I believe it had been coupled to 850's train which had not been turned, so they wyed the whole thing.

Amtrak did a fine job with the test train, and the deadhead move is going well.

Those same cars arrived Chicago late last Thursday evening (6/25) on #8.  Saw them at Glenview about 7 hours late.
