The Daylight Special, a private passenger train pulled by Southern Pacifics massive steam locomotive 4449 traveled through northern Illinois on 07.18.09 on its way from Minneapolis to Chicago. Pulling vintage passenger cars, SP 4449 ran the route of the former Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, now BNSF, through La Crosse, Wis. and the Illinois communities of East Dubuque, Savanna, Chadwick and Milledgeville. The excursion is one leg of a 5000-mile journey for the restored locomotive making its way across the country from Portland, Ore. to Owosso, Mich. for Train Festival 2009. The train left Minneapolis at approx. 8 am and was scheduled to be in Savanna at approximately 2 pm, but was around 45 min. late. It then made a service stop for water. Will arrive in Union Station before nightfall. The special passenger excursion is sharing the rail line with regular freight service so delays are possible. There are no scheduled extended stops, and roadways along the route are expected to be filled with chasers and photographers angling for the perfect shot of this magnificent locomotive. Southern Pacific Daylight steam locomotive 4449 is operated by the Friends of SP 4449, a Portland non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration, maintenance and operation of the former Southern Pacific 4-8-4 steam locomotive. A limited number of tickets may still be available for this trip or for the return trip via Milwaukee Aug. 2 and 3. Ticket information may be found at www.261.com. In <b>...</b>

A video of my home town La Crosse Wisconsin. Wildlife knocking at the door looking for a bite to eat. Nature at its best. The good life I've always dreamed of has become a reality in my life. It's been a lot of work but the work has added to the value of my dream come true. I thank God every day of my life for the strength to overcome drug addiction and the faith to embrace a better life.
