Northern Sky coach |
| Description: |
After concentrating on Photographing the SW Chief engines leaving on the bomb scare train, I realized there was a special car attached to the end. As I walked back to my truck reviewing my photos, I looked up and saw The Northern Sky car and quickly took this shot through the window of my truck! I later learned it was a repositioning move back to Chicago. |

Passengers for SW Chief |
| Description: |
One of the great things about riding the train from Newton. You can drive right up to the boarding platform. The only drawback is its scheduled west bound stop is 3:00AM! This train is over 8 hours late due to the extreme cold in Chicago & the country!. |
