Leo,
I know 45 departed Chicago about 8:30PM, with arrival in Savanna
about 12:30AM. I'm absolutely clueless where to start looking for a
photo, but if there is no response on the list, chech the
Northwestern Illinois communities. Such a photo would be a rare
treasure considering the arrival time.
45 usually had 4 or 5 cars. 1 rider coach and head end equipment.
One of the nights I saw it's departure, the motor was a passeger
Geep. The rider coach usually had 30 riders for Aurora. After that,
I imagine passngers were pretty sparse. Another of my regrets for
not riding.
