Quite an adventure filled hour or so at Morton Grove, featuring the main prize of Metra 500's first time hitting the main on a dual purpose test and rescue train. The Heritage Corridor set with 401 was tasked with rescuing a disabled set at Fox Lake, and they made it a dual purpose run with 500 leading west. Unironically, the disabled set had 405 as well, making for quite the goofy train returning.
Other highlights are a decent 247 lashup and another Dash 8's brief stint on the Hiawatha.
