Also a few further west on Trainorders.com, if you have access to it.
Thank you very much!

Would you believe Eagle Grove?
Lots of soybean biz (AGP), and now ethanol besides. There's an MEAPR, too.

MPREA?? Carl, what's the location on the "EA" please. I'm thinking Ames, IA but not sure.
Thanks,

If Daley broke a bottle of champagne over the coupler it would no doubt leak into the basements of some of the neighboring buildings, causing the "loop flood of 2006". You other folks from Chicago area will undoubtedly understand this reference.
CC, they've flipped CB with the other Iowa trains. MPRCB now goes out in the morning (around 0930) and MPRDM and MPREA are out during the afternoon. MPRCL is still a nighttime departure.
As reported elsewhere, MPRCB departed today at 0922, with UP 1995 and CNW 8646 and 8701 as power.
I posted it on another thread.... MPRCB (the last I heard) usually departs Proviso @1315 - 1420 hours M-F. Depends on Metra scoot 33 and ZCSLT.

There are 2 of them at IRM. One of them, CNW 411 is being restored from its Metra paint, and should be done at the end of next week. The plan was that if it was done before this weekend, it would have gone down to Northwestern Station with the restored CNW belevels for the ceremony.

MPRCB, didn't the last three CNW's work that "mission" for a little while. What time would it come through, lets say Glen Ellyn. Glen Ellyn is imbetween Elmhurst and West Chicago. To be more specific, it is the town East of Wheaton, and West of Lombard.

How do you know this?

I read that a UP employee ID is necessary for entry. Is there anywhere we can watch without an ID? We're going to visit Rochelle and the IRM, too.

Your dad had a really cool job. Being surounded by those types of electronics, it would short-circuit from druel. ;)
As for the last part, WTF!!!!???, I mean really, WTF!!!!!!!!!!??????????!?!?!?!?!?!

Don't jinx it!
Yes, UP 1995 will run with CNW's 8646 and 8701.
