The locomotive that conventional wisdom said would never be restored because of the expense. Yes, I don't dare miss seeing it since it is coming so close to me.

I am planning on watching it come in on the 26th.

Don't want to just see it sitting there.

Rick,

What is your plan to see it, before it gets to West Chicago?

I have a friend who takes rail pics in Chicago, he has not yet told me where we are going to post ourselves.

Basically want to watch running and not standing. Probably will just go to one spot and then to the yard to get up close.

Here's a link to the video I took in DeKalb Tuesday morning.

Trains News Wire wrote that UP expected 2000 people each day that it was displayed in West Chicago, but an estimated 45,000 showed up.
