Remarks & Notes 
Amtrak's Texas Chief accelerates out of Joliet Union Station on trackage used by both Santa Fe and Illinois Central Gulf. The diamonds over the Rock Island crossing were still protected by semaphores on the ATSF/ICG mains. Note the mix of low and high level equipment on this train.
