The Nebraska Zephyr thundered through Western Springs this morning, welcoming in the Fall season:

The old girl can still run with the best of them.  Thankfully, it wasn't the dark and stormy morning the weather-guessers were originally predicting.

There's at least one more video (not mine) showing it passing through South Elgin on Friday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajotDWoPQzU                                                                  

I haven't yet seen any from yesterday's 500-mile round trip to Quincy, but I assume they will be posted soon. Those will be interesting, especially if they catch her at 84 MPH or include pacing shots from Route 34, etc.

It certainly is a fine sight and sound -- the E5 wide open, Mars Light wig-wagging in a figure 8, single note "blaster" air horn, and everything shined up to perfection.  I can imagine this stylish train making a trademark Burlington passenger train stop -- coming in hot and spotting the baggage door right next to the wagon on the platform.  Good memories.

 

My hat is off to every person who volunteered in some way to make this happen.
