Eastbound meets westbound as Amtrak train 4, the eastbound "Southwest Chief" (Los Angeles CA to Chicago IL), rolls into the station in Naperville as westbound train 5, the "California Zephyr" (Chicago IL to Oakland CA), loads its passengers. Seven car long Train 4 is led by P42DCs 183 and 181, and is running only 36 minutes late – not bad for this train, which often runs many hours late. Meanwhile, train 5 is powered by P42DCs 127 and 15, pulling eight cars. (Naperville, Illinois – September 23, 2021) |
