Delmonico arrives in Chicago on the Rock Island. (The C in CB&Q stands for Chicago, but the Rock Island serves Iced Tea in the dining car, hence the train change. )

TL ponders the question, What is Del going to do in Chicago?  He's gonna get some original Chicago-style PIZZA!

Sod Buster points to the pail of axel grease that is always hanging on his wagon....
"Stick yer hand in there and grab some"   

Trinity looks at the pail and turns up his nose.  "Uh, d'ya mind doin' it fer me?  Ah got bad memories of that stuff... took part in a greased pig contest las' year an' Sherlene made me take a baf afore goin' ta baid."

[Ozark Tracker]

the Rock Island Line is a mighty good line, the Rock Island Line is mighty fine line, but if ya ride it, gotta ride it like ya find it, get yer tickets at the station for the Rock Island Line.

Sod Buster grabs a twig off a nearby apple tree and dips it in the pail.  Then hands it to Trinity.  "Here".

[Texas Lawdog]

Trinity loses his appeal to the Greased Pig Committee and goes back home a broken man.

[Trinity]

Dejected, Trinity lowers his head and turns to Sod Buster: "Stranger, Ah ain' a-mahnd ta grase mah wheels no maw now that Ah done los' mah a-peel wif tha GPC."

Trinity mounts Jolly Jumper and rides off into the Sunset, A BROKEN MAN!

[Delmonico]

After a night in a hotel in Chicago, Delmonico buys a ticket and heads south on The Iller-noise Central Railroad.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del boards the "City of New Orleans" with 3 conductors and 25 sacks of Mail. On the Illinise Central Monday morning mail.

[Delmonico]

"The train pulls into Kankakee" Delmonico jumps out, buys a newspaper and reboards the train.

[Trinity]

As he continues along his journey, he rolls along past houses, farms and fields.  Passin' trains that have no names, freight yards full of old black men and the graveyards of the rusted carriages.
