Viewing Album:  Saluki at Kankakee
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:7/27/2012 - 7/27/2012
Album Info:Anxious Amtrak patrons waiting for the Saluki to arrive at the Kankakee station were relieved to see it pull up, about 43 minutes late. Within 3 minutes time, the new passengers boarded and the train left on its way to its final destination, Chicago Union Station. How many times has this elegant station witnessed the arrival and departure of a train?
