Dumb Luck…… Summer of 93 my older brother went to a Cubs game in Chicago, I went to Elmhurst, IL instead. Could not get over all the traffic on the CNW, Trains Magazine said it was a hot spot, but I had no idea. Then to my amazement here comes the Amtrak California Zephyr with a Metra E8 leading. <br /> <br />Turns out there was this little thing called the floods of 1993 tearing up the Midwest and I had no idea that this was the only route open to the west. I believe the E8’s only led a couple of the Amtrak trains for which they were brought out of retirement for…..and of course…..no camera. <br />
