Changing Landscape

            Back in the fall of 2002, Soldier Field was undergoing renovation which required all Chicago Bear home games to be played in Champaign at the University of Illinois. Rail Cruise America used their trainset to shuttle 1% fans to the games. 

One such train left Chicago on the former Illinois Central at 18th Street for a Monday Night game with the Packers. Green Bay of course won 34-21 and the Bears went a respectable 4-12 for the season.

The train has since been sold off with cars going to the Kansas City Southern, the locomotives sold to Norfolk Southern for their business train, and that signal bridge was destroyed in a derailment a number of years ago, proving once again-shoot everything while you have the chance.
