This morning I decided to take running late Amtrak Texas Eagle 22 home instead of waiting until this afternoon to ride Lincoln Service 304. I had no idea that any private varnish would be traveling through our area today.
Conductor on Texas Eagle 22 makes announcement outside of Springfield Illinois stating we are being held do to freight. Then changes story quickly alerting passengers to private varnish viewing opportunity. Luckily my roomette was on right side of tracks to get video. And glad conductor made mention of passing special train.
Pure luck that I recorded this. If I hadn’t changed my travel plans this morning and if Texas Eagle hadn’t been running late – I would have missed this special Union Pacific train. I had no prior heads up alerting me to UP private varnish. It could have easily slipped through town without me knowing.
