It is absolutely amazing what the heavy weight of all those OTOL members will do to a train's fuel consumption rate, what with huge earphones and what nots involved.Well the Lake Shore is running about 50 minutes down at South Bend. However, the Capitol is doing worse, as we passed Kevin and the others just outside of Elkhart. Apparently they were running out of fuel and the crew made the correct decision to stop at the NS yard and take on a few gallons of fuel, such that they could actually reach Chicago without running out of fuel.

Well yes, I weigh 40 pounds more with my "stuff" along, but our first conductor out of Washington may have been 10 times that much. He may have consumed much of our fuel. #29 arrived at 10:47 AM, over 2 hours down.It is absolutely amazing what the heavy weight of all those OTOL members will do to a train's fuel consumption rate, what with huge earphones and what nots involved.
