Waved to you from Train 7 as we went by at 1:15 AM Monday morning, but you were snoozing.

Amtrak 7/8 detour.
Posted by eolafan on Monday, November 9, 2015 8:36 AM

With the derailment in Wisconsin on CP yesterday, I undestand that Amtrak 7/8 will be detouring via Aurora and then up the C&I to LaCrosse where it will rejoin CP rails.  Does anybody know when 7/8 will depart and arrive in Chicago during the detour?  I'd like to go trackside to see it come through Eola today. Thanks!
