A job well done to both Otto and Kyle. Beats the heck out of reading one of those books put out by the book mills, in that the facts are spot-on, the photos identified correctly, etc...

Nicely done.

Agreed, a very good article. More factual and better written than some of the stuff in railfan magazines.

I saw the "future career" note at the bottom, and thought to myself, "I wonder if Metra is in need of a P.R. director..." ;)

Thanks, everyone- and I need to thank Kyle for the excellent photos and the outline he provided for the text.
