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.

According to the Chcago Railroad Fair 1948-1949 web site, a postcard from the 
fair shows a Big Boy (the 4000?) as having been part of the UP exhibit at the 
Fair.

Were you there?  I was (as a young boy).

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!
