I wore out this VHS tape. I grew up in St. Louis in the 60s, got to ride out of Union Station many times on the Mo Pac, then Amtrak. This is a great video!!!
Oh my goodness I remember when I was young in the '50s and my dad used to get on the train from St Louis going to Chicago He was a compensation man for Union. So he would go to Chicago to all these big meetings. He even had breakfast with President Eisenhower many times. But yes I used to love to go to Union station It was magical back then.
First train is after the mail and express package cars were removed . Which bankrupted the private rail system. Gas also was 20 cents a gallon and bankrupt bailed out airlines were unheard of. The Day train is the Wabash Cannonball' with two rear Nickel Plate Coaches from the just dropped NKP service . Today Amtrak trains like these can be sold out. A cross line like this would do real well. The overnighters were the money makers with mail and express to be in town by morning. This is all XPO trucks today! Slow , expensive and no worth to the public . Trucks.

Very nice film quality. Great hues and colors and clear picture. Simpler times, it seems.
