Sounds like #3 went down the ex-ATSF thru Joliet, like the old days.

Is this te route though Joliet? I'd love to see the SW chief at that station

Old route did go via Joliet between Chicago & Galesburg prior to the 1995 merger. Post merger, it runs via Aurora on the old BN between Chicago and Galesburg.

This is the closest I've seen to a pic of the detour #3 at Joliet. Not at the station, but in town.
