PRR 8102 leads 964 lite power

[CQDX018]

I set off for Princeton, Indiana today and when I reached Mt. Carmel, Illinois I got a text saying that 8102 was leading 964 to Saint Louis onto KC. Princeton is 163W and I was around 140 I believe. I got a text saying it was at 150W and when I pulled off to 140 it went by me. The crew went on duty at 12:30P.M. and went by Mt. Carmel around shortly after 2:00P.M. It took me until Albers to catch up to them again! 964 ran 2 and a half hours from Princeton to New Baden, IL where they met 223, 111, & 285. 111 had a SD60E #6915 on point. Kind of cloudy but well worth it! Here are the pics!
