Jim,
That might make sense. I was asked about "Z" trains
running from Rochelle rather than Mendota. I checked as
many as I could and found nothing like that. If they ran
some Stack Trains over Mendota rather than Chillicothe
that may be possible.
There is another part of that involved. Running from Cicero
to Mendota rather than Rochelle would require different crew.
If I remember correctly Mendota/Chillicothe could use the
same crews.
