QUOTE: Originally posted by eolafan The trains you see on the BNSF in and out of Chicago are the Illinois Zephyr trains to and from Quincy, IL and they run outbound in the early morning and inbound in the early evening (if they are on time). These trains are frequented by students from Western Illinois University in Quincy.
QUOTE: Originally posted by eolafan The trains have been running with either a P40 on one end and a "cabbage" on the other / or two P40's at times, for some time now (several years at least) and once in a while you will see them with only one P40 at the outbound end and when so they turn the engine at Quincy (difficult to do there for lack of a turnaround track). The "big" trains will always have two to four P40's and at times one or two "Pepsi Can" old GE units as well.
