My train did 112 both ways

There was track work that had to be done from a section of track South of Carlinville due to flooding from a rainstorm. Everything’s okay now. If you don’t have one download a speedometer on your phone. It was pretty cool when mine said 112 MPH.

I rode the Lincoln Service last week, the issue with the delay was water over the tracks from storms, we had to bus from Springfield to St Louis on the way home. The good news was my speedometer on my phone had us traveling 112 Miles.

I have a portable electric combo cooler/food warmer, They are perfect for train trips, You might find some used ones on EBay.

The article said due to freight congestion North of Joliet on the current route.

Amtrak is looking to reroute the St Louis-Chicago Trains from Joliet to Chicago over the Metra Ex Rick Island. They need to build a second platform in Joliet and upgrade the track from Chicago Union Ststion to the Metra Tracks.

I took the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff, Gold Leaf for $1600.00.The fare was cheaper because it was in the fall.That was in 2019. They also give you time to make payments toward the total fare,

Iam more interested in a second CHi- Bay Area Train

A second CHI-LAX Chief. This one rerouting through Amarillo and having a Barstow- Bay Area Section. This would also give you a second Chi-Bay Area Train.

I never said I expected them to so.
