The Chicago chapter of the NRHS, the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad, and Metra, ran the farewell retirement fantrip charter for the 3 remaining early 1950's vintage EMD E-8 diesels. This trip ran from Chicago to Harvard Illinois and back behind the 3 E-8's.This was the first photo runby location, at the Palatine Illinois commuter rail station. Several people were on the platform with cameras and home video equipment to record this historic event.
