FYI
Around noon I received the following information from a reliable railfan friend
in St. Louis regarding the itinerary of #1522 for the 19th and 20th of June. As
some of you may know, on those days it will be going from the Museum of
Transportation (just west of St. Louis) to West Quincy.
Here's the scoop: It departs MOT (Museum of Transportation) on Monday morning
after Amtrak
leaves Kirkwood (and MOT) after 8 AM'ish. It will ease at 25 MPH
stopping at Kirkwood Station. It will then go downtown. It is
leaving the MOT pointed east. It will tie up at the "CB&Q" BNSF in
North St. Louis (NSL).
On Tuesday it is to depart from NSL at 5.30 AM. It is supposed to
stop at Old Monroe and all of "your towns" north of there and "creep"
at 25 MPH. Stopping to check the bearings, {all $600.000] worth of
them! Hope this helps!!
