@MetraCNW71794 Yep, I'm a hogger. A lot of guys hang out at Elmhurst. Fri. & Sat. nites the guys from the model RR club come up & sit at the east end of the depot off trk. 1 { north side }. Do you know any of these guys?
@chooch1995 Yea, Ive been there a couple times. My names Colin, maybe I met you before. Are you guys going to be out there tonight? Ill try to make it out there if you guys are there
@NMC21887 I'm not sure which switch you're referring to. The U.P. can gain access to Union Station via the Metra Milwaukee district at Western Ave. tower A-2. Whenever we get Amtrak detours they go in & over at Western.
Opie & I are good friends & of course I know Dougie. If you guys listen to the scanner you'll hear Doug end every radio trans. with a long ooooooooooovverr! We're a little tired of it by now!

U.P. management wants everything lit up during daylight hours - even on yard leads.

Is it possible to connect from Union station to the UP-W line using the switch track at 0:55?
