Boy did that bring back memories of that trip. I remember standing in an
open vestibule somewhere East of Savana on the return trip doing 70++ mph
since we were behind schedule.

remeber him?). It was the best fan trip I ever rode. The cost was 20 or 25
dollars, big bucks for a high school student, and it included a steamboat
ride in LaCrosse. We left Chicago at 9AM and made it back around 3AM. The
Conductor from Chicago to Savanna was Fitzpatrick. The Trainmaster who was
on the trip was Eugene Craven was was later General Supt. The train was
only 6 or 7 cars including the Chief Illini Observation. The 5632 running
along the river at night, at speed, in an indescribable experience.
