I guess it'll have to be another time then, Bob. I have to work Wednesday during the day, and Pat has meetings that evening that disrupt everyone's supper schedules, including ours.

Carl: Sorry we can't hook up. Is there a good location to view Proviso?

Not really. All of the best places don't allow parking (Mannheim Road bridge, I-294 northbound). You can see a bit of action from the Berkeley station parking lot (don't leave the platform), or in Elmhurst, at the west end of the yard. I presume you'll be driving.
