This is #1015, one of the famous Illinois Terminal double-ended PCCs, now nicely restored and operating again in St. Louis. And in the background, you can see the McKinley Bridge over the Mississippi.I just got home, so there will be many more photos from my vacation as time permits. With similarly informative captions.

Randall,
I thought you might be traveling when the site did not change for a week! Looking forward to your report!

Didn't know Amtrak California ran shuttle buses all the way to St. Louis. Plus, it appears that global warming is irrefutably true, seeing that palm trees are now growing along the upper Mississippi. ;-)

Who installed the back door on the IT double end PCC? - it is not traditional for an IT PCC to have two individual doors on one side.
Well as the St. Louis branch manager for Hicks Car works, I can report it's been awfully hot here in St. Louis city.....
