The train will back up approximately one mile, and come back charging by at speed for all the railfan photographers aboard this one day last run fantrip special. This chartered excursion train operated between Chicago and Harvard Illinois over the Chicago & NorthWestern / Metra Northwest line in Mc Henry county. It was a fitting farewell charter.Monday, October 29, 2007
