Passenger Trains > Private Cars and a DeathstarDate: 04/15/24 17:54 Private Cars and a Deathstar Author: sethamtrak After work I went straight to Naperville with 10 minutes to spare for the on-time 6. First was an outbound Dinky. Caritas, Lucky (former MKT 403) and Stanley (former Bella Vista) on the rear of 6. I then went downtown to get the train spinning on the wye and the very late 58 with the IC 1027 leading. First thing I saw was a passing BNSF coal empty.
