| Amtrak California Zephyr at Galesburg, IL |
Road trip to Galesburg, Illinois, to watch Amtrak trains April 27 to May 2, 2015 - In less than two weeks, I will be driving from Nashville to Champaign, IL, for one overnight stay. The next day Tuesday I will drive on to Galesburg for a day watching Amtrak passenger trains and overnight in Galesburg. Two long distance passenger trains Amtrak's California Zephyr and Southwest Chief pass through Galesburg both to and from Chicago with a "fresh air" break for passengers. The photo above is from my stop in Galesburg in October 2013 on the California Zephyr.
Wednesday afternoon I will return to Champaign for two night stay. Two regional Amtrak trains between Chicago and Carbondale, IL, pass through Champaign. I will be riding the train on Thursday to and from Chicago for a fun outing. Below is a photo I took from the train while passing through Champaign this past September 2014. Also Amtrak's City of New Orleans passes through Champaign but does so early morning and late evening.

I do enjoy photographing passenger trains as a "rail fan" so I'm looking forward to visiting two cities I have only passed through on the train. Lots of fun for me to anticipate and experience the arrival and departure of the trains and photographing those trains and surrounding activity. Also Galesburg does have a railroad museum I will check out.
