The sun is rising as Amtrak’s westbound Capitol Limited bangs the diamonds at Butler, Indiana, on the Chicago Line of Norfolk Southern.
It is May 22, 2014, and I am on the first leg of trip that will take me to Seattle on the Empire Builder, across Canada on VIA Rail Canada’s Canadian, and back home via the Maple Leaf and Lake Shore Limited.
No. 29 is a little behind schedule and will lose more time before reaching Chicago due to track work on NS in Northwest Indiana.
The crossing track is another NS route, which at one time was the Wabash Railroad line between Detroit and St. Louis.
