Craig In His Element
An amazingly warm February afternoon in Sturtevant, finds engineer Craig Willett about ready to head back to Chicago Union Station with a dinner train, headed up by a classic EMD E8 locomotive. The classic Electro Motive E8 started life as Chicago and Northwestern number 5029B and went to METRA as their METX 515 before being sold to the Arizona Eastern and renumbered AZER 6070. Craig and my father (seen standing outside behind Craig's shoulder) worked together frequently on The Milwaukee Road together.
