Trivia Tuesday: Train Math

     Welcome to another round of trivia.  First off, last week's answer. In 1881, the 200 people who almost died near Moingona, Iowa owe their lives to a 16 year old Irish immigrant by the name of Kate Shelley, who was able to warn the oncoming train of a washed out bridge.  And as for what this has to do with Chicago, the timetables for the Union Pacific West line are colored "Kate Shelley Rose". Why UP West?  Because that line is the distant descendant of the line that had its train saved by Shelley.  And now, this week's question: 

How much would it cost for a commuter who lives in Zion and comes into Ogilvie to have a yearly membership in Car 553?  (you can find Metra fares here)

     We'll be back next week with the answer, as well as another question.
