For as hard as it seems to be out on the mainline these folks seem to be running all over the place in the Chicago area. I don't even think I've seen any advertisements for trips out of Chicago. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 66&nseq=42 |

Quite sure it was for a charter/conference? Can't remember where I saw the reference. Joshua |

It was a private charter for the convention of the Rail Passenger Car Alliance, a second (besides AAPRRCO) group of private-varnish operators. I must admit to being floored at the sight/images of the "Arizona Eastern" E8 roaring under Roosevelt Road--that loco was painted for an excursion that started up with some other stuff from the San Luis & Rio Grande/Iowa Pacific excursion stuff, and I'm a bit flummoxed at their trying to use an E8 on what is some curvy track on that Arizona line. The line was acquired by the Genessee & Wyoming conglomerate, and the AZER E8 was transferred to the Saratoga & North Creek....... |
