Thank you for sharing this. All those "fallen flags" and different paint schemes. So cool to see again and yet so sad to see what is gone.

GREAT video considering the quality of equipment. I just subscribed and am looking forward to more of your work!

Damn, so much of that doesn’t exist anymore.

Great video...thanks for posting! Nice to see the old National Limited again, with E units as well!

Union Station at least looks better now than it did then!

Better days !

An historic time capsule, but sad to see how passenger service was dead on the vine: the Union Station, with rusty, weedy tracks and the magnificent canopies torn off the platforms. Amtrak did wash those passenger coaches and did buy new rolling stock and improved the service, but maybe the message from the private roads was clear? You can't make this work. Viable, long distance train service is obsolete and terminally unprofitable. That Amtrak has been in The Red 53 years certainly tells one what was already clear way back then.

So many of those tracks have been ripped up since then.
