“About 500 passengers aboard three Amtrak trains were stranded overnight in a remote part of northern Illinois”
Funny, I never thought that Mendota (which in the area where I live was remote) Chicago does not realize there is live beyond Chicago.
I thought everyone in Illinois knew that you have to go south of I-80 to be in the uncivilized redneck territory.
My wife rode this route often. About once a year she would be on one that broke down.
Cold and snow did not seem to be needed!
EXACTLY . . . I live 25 east of Mendota and certainly do not consider it “remote”.
actually, Mendota is pretty remote. You get there after leaving US hiway 58 at Hiltons.
It is home to the Carter Family Fold, the home of the Carter Family , country music and June Carter Cash, wife of Johnny Cash.
