[CBQ] Nebraska Zephyr Excursion from CUS to Quincy IL
http://www.irm.org/events/zephyrexcursion.html
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.
