“Amtrak’s ‘Day One’ 50th Anniversary heritage unit, ALC-42 number 301, swings through the tight North Canal Street curve, just a couple minutes from its final arrival at Chicago Union Station with train 8, the eastbound Empire Builder. To the right, the old Cassidy Tire building, long a local landmark, is being demolished, presumably to make way for more condos- this is a hot area in real estate.”

Metra E-unit with Amtrak detour Chicago IL 1993
“It’s July 1993 the great floods of the Mississippi River caused many detours on other railroads. The San Francisco Zephyr detoured over the C&NW Iowa division making Amtrak to lease Metra E-units to lead for cab signals. In the shot it’s leaving Chicago at Racine Ave.”
