For fathers day I bought tickets for my dad and I to ride the 'Joliet Rocket,' this summer's Nickel Plate 756 excursion from Joliet to Chicago. Besides the main attraction, I was able to catch a few other trains while I was there. The trip was very nice and the accommodations were excellent. It was a great experience and it was the first time seeing a big steam train like this in person
