Sunday is Veterans Day
Author: kevink

Any possibility of Amtrak running 90221 through the wash rack before then? Here it is at Chicago Union Station last night as it waited to head north on a Hiawatha Services train.

It's also the 100th anniversary of the End of World War I too.

The Wall Street Journal has an article today about the American military expedition to fight the Bolsheviks in 1918-1919.  The Michigan and Ohio troops suffered from extreme cold, mismanagement by British commanders, and a general neglect by American leaders.  About 200 troops died on the Archangel front before many in the remainder mutinied.
