<stupid charger joke here>

Shoutout to Jonathan Lee for photoshopping the conduit out - you da man

 

Every single available charger broke, so Amtrak started assigning P42s to the regional routes out of Chicago; except the Hiawatha, which got Dash 8 #500.

 

After overshooting the platform, and a half hour delay in the proccess, 338 finally gets out of Sturtevant, kicking up a bunch of snow as it flies past the searchlights on its way to Chicago, where it would arrive 40 minutes late

 

The Dash 8 isn’t in the rotation anymore, because it crapped out around Mayfair on 339 a few hours after this, and limped back on 332 the next morning. The charger on the north end had issues on 332 around the Airport stop, resulting in a completely new set being required... which broke and cancelled 337 and 342.

 

Classy performance as always, Amtrak
