During its visit on May 8th, 2816 came out of Bensenville yard and was shown to the public in Franklin park Illinois. Then later in the day the engine made its way into the city to be turned around and then return to Bensenville yard for its journey to its next destination. On a rainy morning of May 9th, we follow the Empress on its next leg of its journey from Bensenville, to Sabula Iowa on former Milwaukee Road trackage. This would be our final time seeing the beautiful Hudson as it continues its journey to Mexico.
