Friday, February 16, 2024

Please do not arrive before 7:15 pm. Also, if you are joining us on Zoom, please do not join the meeting before 7:15 pm on the day of the meeting. This Zoom account is used for various meetings throughout the week but just one meeting can occur at a time.

Zoom codes are at the end of this message.

Our next meeting will be both an in-person meeting and a Zoom meeting. If enough people from outside the Chicago area attending Zoom meetings become Club members, this will encourage the Club to make hybrid meetings a permanent feature. Dues are $20 which includes four glossy newsletters sent by mail. The dues renewal is sent with the fourth newsletter. We still have slide shows which will not be presented via Zoom.

Here are details about joining Railroad & Shortlines Club of Chicago:


In-person meeting location
Chicago Union Station
Room 107A
500 W Jackson Blvd (enter between Clinton and Canal)
Chicago, Illinois

Rondout and vicinity, part 2
by Bill Edwards

Bill Edwards will show us more action at Rondout. We'll take a look at the original branch of the Milwaukee Road predecessor toward Liberty, which due to an obvious geographic feature could not be extended straight west. We'll see freight on the North Shore in the final days of the railroad. Bill will present a bit of history about the Rondout Train Robbery of 1924. We'll see 100 mph trains through Rondout, tower operations, Amtrak over the years, and current day preservation efforts.
