Ray and list- Yes, my grandfather took me and I remember sitting in the grandstand for the show but not much else. I imagine the UP would have routed the Big Boy over the C&NW so it probably wasn’t what I saw. I also remember seeing the GM Powerama exhibit on the lakefront but don’t recall any details other than I was there.

I was (as a young boy). Ray Quisenberry ---In CBQ@yahoogroups.com, <cvlk@...> wrote : I remember seeing an articulated being hauled dead in a train through Clarendon Hills. I am thinking it must have been after the Railroad Fair was over…..it seems it was a westbound. My grandfather was building a group of houses just east of the overhead crossing of Route 83 backing up to the south side of the tracks and it must have been in late 1949. I would have been 4 years old at the time….and, like later years, didn’t have a camera to record the event! Charlie Vlk |
