Rkarn, <br /> <br /> Yes, in Chicago, Amtrak and Metra are "THE HOTSHOTS" Then goes, pigs, auto trains, hot freights. Sometimes, like what happened to me a few days ago, your train becomes hot when you are going to reach hours of service soon and there's nowhere to put you. I was waiting at Barr Yard in Riverdale for an empty coal train for 5 1/2 hours before it made it to the yard. Then when we boared we had to wait an additional two hours just to get moving. So, by the time we came into UP's Yard Center in Dolton, we were on short time, about three hours 20 minutes to make it to Danville and it would take all of that to make it there. In that case we became a hot train and we tied down with a minute to spare on #2 main at Voorhees street in Danville. So, you just never know what can be hot sometimes.
