rwas, they are making a 30 minute stop in Toledo for a recrew and fuel, so expect them to leave there around 3:45pm, so you should see them anytime after 4:00pm.

196 miles out of Pittsburgh at Millbury Ohio , its taken 6 hours so far , averaging 32 mph ....

That a far cry from the 90 mph Bennett Levin mentioned they ran on the North East Corridor last year with the 20 car Liberty Limited headed for the Army Navy game . Of course the NEC is built for speed !

@ 216 miles to go to get to Chicago .

Those are some impressive shots considering the speed they were moving! I can't wait to see them on Sunday!

So on Sunday, with an 8 AM departure that puts them at about 2 pm (probably later) through Toledo... and 5 pm into Cleveland assuming they run in about same time as on the amtrak time table... But lets hope they have a better on time performance then amtrak.

They are scheduled to arrive in Toledo at 2:00pm, and depart at 2:30pm after a recrew and fuel change, same routine as the trip west. I will be in Berea waiting on them, and will post here when they come through.
