| CNW Tr. #2, the eastbound Kate Shelly 400 paused at DeKalb, Illinois on Dec. 28, 1964. It was not 7:00 a.m. yet. She left Clinton, Iowa well over an hour before where she slept the night and had about an hour to go to arrive in Chicago. She had a diner lounge car and coaches and certainly didn't not run the 400 miles her name implies. Her run was 138 miles. E-unit 5015A and its steam generator seemed to be working fine on this cold college break morning. |
