It did? I forgot to do my usual look back at A-5 to see what was pushing us.

It was seriously smoking today. Waiting at Roselle as it started pushing towards the station from Roselle West, there was a big cloud of black smoke over the train. Did not look good. I also wonder if it was having some problems loading. A couple of starts from stations were a bit jerky with the slack running in and out.

614 was pushing 2218 this morning. Saw it fly through Roselle this morning as I was walking up to wait for 2220.

Saw 614 this evening. I'm pretty sure it was on 2237.

I saw it on Track 13 while departing on 2235. 2237 is normally on Track 13 at that time.

Saw 614 today on what I assume was 2239 (5:23pm departure). 2239 is my normal train home but due to a need to be in Park Ridge this evening, I was on the UP-NW 5:23pm and we crossed right over 614 and its train as we pulled.
