It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...Halloween?
Amtrak's Phase II Heritage Unit leads an eastbound #4, the Southwest Chief, through the crossovers in Bristol, IL, while BNSF 7046 waits in the distance at the head of a manifest train. This could be December 31st, but no, it's actually October 31st. Record-setting snowfalls blanketed much of the Midwest on this Halloween day, with many parts of the Chicagoland area receiving in excess of 4 inches, and some up to 7 inches. This is the first time that there has been measurable snow of any significance in the Chicago area since record keeping began.
