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.

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

It was a private charter for the convention of the Rail Passenger Car Alliance, a second (besides AAPRRCO) group of private-varnish operators.

The line was acquired by the Genessee & Wyoming conglomerate, and the AZER E8 was transferred to the Saratoga & North Creek.......
