The Normal depot operator, silhouetted in the doorway, informed the crew of this southbound that the arrival of a GM&O passenger was imminent. He told them that they could hold out north of town, or…”make a good move” across the diamond. They chose the latter, and judging by the motion blur of the lead unit and the flying dust, they were going just a wee bit “over the posted”. Barry Lennon Sr. photo. Barry Lennon collection.
