>Did you get to see the Freedom Train when it came through here in 1976??
Yes, we saw it in Crystal Lake, the heard it serval nights later at about 4am
when it returned to Chicago. I'll never forget the sound of #4449's whistle
in the night -- we could hear it for over 15 minutes as he rolled east.
Exceptionally cool. I think they had soem difficulty with #4449 at
Northwestern Station because she's a huge locomotive and wouldn't clear some
obstacles like the train shed!

I'm lucky to be married to a fine woman who enjoys trains almost as much as I
do and she's great with a video camera too. I'm glad you can share trains

>Police Call has Metra frequencies. Would those be the ones currently in
They ought to be accurate, but if you hear nothing on them, let me know and
I'll see what I can find.
