This might be a late-running Train #14, a Lincoln - Chicago train scheduled to move express, later meat and packing house products in reefers and TOFC, with a 3:25 AM arrival in Chicago. and if so, he's about five or six hours late. He's also running eastbound on what was normally the westbound main. |
