Chicago to Galesburg, and Quincy, Illinois
Saturday and Sunday, September 22 and 23, 2012

The Illinois Railway Museum, in cooperation with Amtrak and BNSF 
Railway, will operate the Nebraska Zephyr, powered by CB&Q 9911A "Silver 
Pilot", on an excursion between Chicago and Quincy, Illinois on 
September 22nd and 23rd.

On each day, the Nebraska Zephyr will depart Chicago Union Station at 
9:00AM and travel on BNSF's Mendota subdivision 162 miles to Galesburg, 
Illinois, arriving at 11:40AM. The Zephyr will depart Galesburg at 
12:00PM for another 96 miles to Quincy, Illinois, turn on the wye at 
West Quincy and arrive back at Galesburg at 4:00PM. The Zephyr will then 
depart Galesburg at 4:20PM and arrive back at Chicago Union Station at 
7:00PM, a total round trip of over 500 miles.

This will be the first time the Nebraska Zephyr has operated with 
passengers from Chicago Union Station to Galesburg since it was in 
service in 1968 and the first scheduled passenger service to Quincy, 
Illinois. This will be a rare excursion that should not be missed.
