the 261 will be leaving chicago at 11:00am and arive in galesburg around4:00pm provided it doesnt get in the way of metra or freight traffic. it will then be turned in galesburg and head up the savanna main to Barstow ill then turn west and go into rock island.The same day the 3985(Union Pacifics Challenger) will be going through Des Moines Iowa and parking in boone for the night.Just think,two mainlines sized steamlocomotives within a hundred miles of eachother. I'll be there for both. Keep in mind the 261 is also running excurtions out of the quad cities the whole weekend and will incule rare milage on the iowa interstate rr( ex-ROCK ISLAND[:D] ) on sunday. Rochell is busy. Lots of UP trains though and in my opinoin kinda gets boring. You can only see so many coal and container trains with ac44's and SD70s. Oh well better than no trains. Hope this helps and remeber:LONG LIVE THE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
