Cab Ride from Kansas City to Chicago- Mendota to Chicago

Ride on-board the cab of Amtrak's Train #4, the "Southwest Chief" from Kansas City to Chicago.
This is a 5-part series. This is part five, Mendota to Chicago Illinois.
You'll see the view as we fly down the former CB&Q "racetrack" into Chicago.
This was only five years after the merger , so their is still a lot of Burlington Northern flavor along the line.
