From Out of the Gloom Come Thee!
Amtrak's Operation LIfesaver unit, 203, is once again in charge of the Southwest Chief as it heads east through Sandwich, IL, on the BNSF's Mendota Sub. 203 has been on the Southwest Chief fairly regularly by this date. On this particular April 16th day, it was cold with a cold 40 degree day, with a very cold west wind blowing. Just 24 hours earlier, it was 80 degrees and I was wearing shorts. By Monday morning, April 17th, there would be snow on the ground. That is how April rolls in the 21st Century in Northern Illinois.
