402 is back.
After I had gotten out of my class for the day, I got wind that an ex-CitiRail was leading a SB manifest down the Waukesha so I made my way to Mundelein to try and snag them as well as getting a few others. I was gonna call it quits after that, until I got word that Metra 402 was back in the Western Ave Coach Yard pool for a short while and was leading NCS Train 113, so I made my way to Prairie View nearby Buffalo Grove to snag them as well, lot of unexpected things happened today. Enjoy!
