We have discovered a new group on people on this trip - loyal followers of cars like the Chapel Hill. They find out what route we are taking, and they travel to various points along the rail to see us and take pictures. We've seen people come out in the Chicago suburbs, Missouri and Kansas. Outside of Chicago, a man and his two sons came out to see us and take pictures.
Our most interesting fans so far were discovered somewhere between Lawrence, KS and Topeka, KS. During a stop, there was a car filled with people that were armed with Glow Sticks - waving them furiously at us. We told them we wanted the glowsticks - one said no, but another one ran over to us to give us the stick. As he passed the stick to us, he said "We'll see you at the next stop!" Sure enough, about 30 minutes later they had caught up to us to see us pass by, waving their glow sticks at us again in excitement....
More to come in a little bit - we are on the train all day today!
