Amtrak 223
Title:  Amtrak 223
Description:  Regular riders on the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor were used to seeing just about anything on the local trains. One thanksgiving had a train of two Superliner Lounge Cars and two Dining Cars. On this day in 1988, 223 was no doubt plucked from the Chicago paint shop to do a quick round trip to Milwaukee!

Amtrak 279
Title:  Amtrak 279
Description:  I never got the story on this, but two locomotives are on the rear of train 336 at Milwaukee. 279 appears to have some front end damage and it could be that the previous night's last train hit something. Here it trails the push-pull consist and will soon be disconnected from shore power and bound for Chicago.
