More deadblogging on the Illini
Carbondale. The station's poor design makes Chicago Union Station look efficient.
Du Quoin.
Centralia.
Effingham. I tried to get a picture of the cross, but stuff kept getting in the way. ("You will never be bigger than the things that upsets you"? Sorry, I'm not inspired.)
Mattoon.
Yawn.
Sunset.
Champaign.
Rantoul.
Gilman.
Kankakee.
Homewood.
Chicago.
I had a window seat this time, but as I was crammed on a sold-out train, there were myriad limitations to the shots I was able to take. (Except for Centalia; I made my way to the cafe car for that one.) Tell you what, though, whipping out your camera at every stop on the freaking Illini is a surefire way to get people to leave you well alone the whole ride.

I like the Centralia pic, and the sunset.
Too bad the camera trick doesn't really work on the City of New Orleans, since it's dark outside during that ride. Or actually, maybe that would work better at making people think I'm nuts...
The Carbondale station smells sometimes, too. I used to enjoy taking it to Chicago, though, in winter. We hardly ever got snow that far south, and everything got fluffier on the way north:)
