Arrival into Chicago. you tube  Several notes

1.  Three front units  ( shovel nosed )

2.  Rather long pulled by 2 P-42s

3.  Last car was numbered 7151.  Anyone know if that may have been an Amtrak assigned number ?i

Well the speculation seems more solid.  However whether Michigan leases or buys is still to be decided.   There is much political smoke about Talgo getting the MI go ahead over Capitol corridor's ex Santa Fe's high level cars.  Much speculation over the political fall out.  One interesting idea was Walker does not want Talgo to succeed ?  Waiting for conclusions.
