#88 and #82 were always ideal to catch out of Savanna, hot trains  with 
maybe a few reefers for the Park. Four to five hours on duty and  done. However 
train 102 lovingly referred to as the pick up was not that  pleasant. 
Sometimes it seemed no matter what train you came to Savanna on, you  were 
blessed with the pick up a little after midnight. Looking back 40 years  now, 
everyone just took it in stride with a crew of  engineer, a  fireman, two 
brakeman and a conductor. The job didn't seem that bad just long  hours.

During most of the 1960s and late 1950s, the third eastbound between  
Savanna and Cicero (in addition to #82 and #88) was called the Pick Up. This  
may 
be the train that you are referring to. The PU was due out of Savanna at  
midnight and into Cicero at 9:00 a.m. This train did any local work between  
Savanna and Oregon and picked up at Oregon and Rochelle. In the mid 1960s 
the  Q also ran wayfreights six days a week between Eola and Oregon and 
Rochelle  and Rockford.
