Spring 2015 -
Mostly on the inactive list so far this year but hope to get back to some work in a week or two. The job list is heavy with TEREX units out of Watertown SD and 've been there once but it kills most of day getting there by bus or rental car then cab - so not my favorite place to go. We also see a lot units out of Waukesha WI - west side of Milwaukee. The east side of Milwaukee is called Lake Michican, just like Chicago. Those too entail 500 miles of travel to start the trip and a lost day.
Megabus sked to CHI has changed but not a lot - 7 30 pm departurefrom City Market area of KC and 6 am arrival in downtown CHI - so even better for getting started early in the day after the overnight bus ride and attempted sleep. $47 for near term - drops to $15 farther out and even some $1 seats if you book three months out. Former sked was 7 am arrival - 6 am even better for getting a Metra train out to the western or northern suburbs where most of our CHI outbounds seems to originate. There's a Burr Oak job on the list - Burr Oak to STL - might try for that one - as both ends are reasonably easy and cheap to reach or get out of.
