RE: [CBQ] Re: My First Fan-trip, Not one but two big steamers

Reading that story, in particular the part about the passenger train passing 
the special, reminds me of a story my uncle told me years ago.
 
He was on that steam special and got left behind at Aurora. He was taking 
pictures or whatnot, and didn't make it back on board! Trying to figure out 
what to do, he bought a ticket for the next passenger train (I don't remember 
which one now) to Galesburg. He passed the steam special and waited for it in 
Galesburg. And waited.
 
He found out from a RR employee what had happened.
 
I have his Galesburg pictures somewhere. Haven't looked at them for some time 
now and IIRC, all the steam on display there was well polished and spotted 
perfectly for pictures.
