| Bob Gile caught eastbound Train No. 2 as it crossed the
Chicago & North Western tracks at Merrillan late in the
afternoon on May 3,
1984.
Things were still in full swing on the Green Bay Route at this time: the bridge across the Mississippi River was still open (it would be closed the following year), and Train No. 2 was rushing freight from western markets to the Lake Michigan carferry connection at Kewaunee, Wis. Train No. 2 typically passed through Merrillan around noon; evidently it was running quite late on this day. |
