Homewood!!! We lived on Cedar, just down the road.. 1831 Cedar... I used to hang out there and watch trains all day long... the old pullman looking commuters (eletric), then the newer eletric... the Illinois Central trains to the gulf.... wow.. memories...
In 1976, my dad said if you wanted a good smoke, he'd go pick up cigarette butts in front of the men's room at Union station, one day, I drove by and he was just finishing a butt, I said get your ass in the car, when he got in the car he was talking funny, I forced a fart out to make him laugh, and his mouth was loaded with kankur sores
I too remember when commercial passenger trains were removed from service May 1st 1971 If taking buses takes longer than car or airplane then why are buses in service and commercial passenger trains long out of service ?

What a shame the Santa Fe red and silver passenger trains are gone. best looking and best service ever.
ATSF is one of my favorite railroads
@@zachmalcolm6342 Yes I grew up in the southwest and loved the Santa Fe warbonnets.

@@zachmalcolm6342 Yes used to see Southern Pacific trains running thru El Paso and New Mexico.

Nice video, I'll have to get this. Love the early Amtrak stuff and IC. grew up by the Rock Island and PC in the Beverly area.
PC and AMTK are my favorite railroads
I want to live in Chicago now
The Rock Island must have been bouncing pretty badly on that shaky trackage

Amtrash....I hate it
Wow you disrespecting 50 years of Amtrak how rude
@@cmadden3364 yup sure am. Always delayed, overpriced and a lot of places aren’t accessible.
@@vhd72 then the real reason why you hate Amtrak
