What was that I saw today???
Posted by eolafan on Saturday, May 22, 2010 5:54 PM

While spending a few hours at Eola this afternoon and snoozing away for a few minutes I was caught by suprise by a "special move" on the BNSF...it was an Amtrak unit hauling about six private cars inbound on the "racetrack" towards Chicago...it had at least two short domes and a open ended observation car on the rear and some other cars as well.  It was such a shock I did not think to get a shot of it and it went by so fast I was taken completely by suprise. It went through Eola at about 2:45 p.m. this afternoon.  Does anybody know the details and did any body get any shots of this special?  Thanks.
