Northbound UP Executive Business Train |
| Description: |
We just beat UP Train SSLCB 23 to WR Tower on the UP Springfield Sub. The engineer sounded the old Leslie RS-5T which sounded awesome. This looked like a train straight out of the 50's with rotating beacons and everything in operation! |

Ex-Metra Bi-Levels |
| Description: |
These 5 ex-METX Bi-Level Cars were built as CNW Cars. We wnnt through them, the underwent their last inspection by Metra on 6-6-05. We cleaned them out, some still had trash in their trashcans. There were posters, inspection sheets, newsletters, tickets, and all kinds of things. I even took a vinyl glow-in-the-dark exit sign that was falling off of the wall in #7719. |
