765 stopped at the Indiana/Illinois boarder due to the heat. Once the temp reached above 100 degrees, the dispatcher ordered all trains to halt operation. the crews on 765 were relieved by a pair of hostlers, and took shelter in the parlor car. It was HOT! I broke a sweat walking in the shade of the train from the engine to the parlor car three cars back! Thanks to the car's owner for the bottle of water. :)
Yeah it was flippin' hot...I was sweating just standing still in the shade. Nice video of the ol' girl.

I could only imagine how hot it must have been in the cab.

Wouldn't that suck? Having to move 10mph because the it was too hot and 765 could damage the rails? What a drag.
