Didn't see the power but my daughter said it had at least one CSX unit. This may have been that 136. There was one last week. Odd time for a 116 that late in the afternoon.
This actually has been confirmed as a very late 116. Chicago had all kinds of problems with weather and power outages apparently. The Q136 came through later. It was at Durand at about 6:00 PM.
Second consecutive day for a really late 116. Friday's went though Durand after 7:00 or 8:00 in the evening. Was at Moterm around 1:00 AM today.
Today's 116 did indeed have two CSX for power. CSX 39 was the leader.
