Rio Grande overpass |
| Description: |
The Rio Grande has been gone 35 years at this point, having taken over the SP, and yielded its name to the larger operation, itself later absorbed into UP. But the herald lives on, still in good paint on this Colorado overpass. |

Union Station |
| Description: |
This is the concourse of Union Station, seen from the balcony. Its the only one of the five Chicago stations then in use to retain its original character. La Salle(Rock Island), Northwestern and Randolph St(ICG and South Shore) all have been replaced by office towers. Dearborn was closed once its only remaining train, the "Orland Park Cannonball" on a remnant of the Wabash, was moved to Union Station by Metra. |

| Description: |
The Erie Railroad built huge stations at its division points, and Susquehanna was no exception, as it was the division point between the Delaware and Susquehanna Divisions, as well as home to its system passenger car shops. By the 1980s, it was a shadow of its former self, thtough it would return to some small measure of glory as a restaurant in the years to come. Here is is in August of 1985, having ahd some work done, and looking better than it had in recent years. |

Union station |

This station at Palmer Mass was a union station, serving both the Boston & Albany, and Central Vermont. Were looking across Conrails ex B&A Boston Line. In 1986, passenger trains no longer stopped here, though the Boston section of the Lake Shore passed by. A few years hence, the Montrealer would pass on the CV after it was rerouted off the B&M Conn River line due to Guilfords inability to maintain the track to adequate standards for Amtrak. At the time of this photo, there was a restaurant/bar in the building. |

Carnival ride from hell |
| Description: |
Before self unloading ore boats became common, minerals were unloaded at lake ports with these Hulett unloaders, seen from the passing Lake Shore Limited. They look like something out of a Star Wars movie, and operating one was described as being on a "carnival ride from hell" due to the operator riding in a bucket mounted cab. Several of these relics are still on the Cleveland waterfront in 1990, not long for the world. The ore jennies in the foreground, however, will stay at it a few more years. |

NYC station |
| Description: |
Several friends and I rode the Lake Shore to Toledo, changed there to the Lake Cities, a Toledo-Detroit-Chicago connection, to get the mileage through Michigan. The train ran push-pull to eliminate the need to run around at Detroit. The cab car trailed on the Detroit-Chicago segment, allowing us to look out the rear. This is the old NYC station at Dexter Mich, seen from the cab car. |

Big time |
| Description: |
The grain elevator at Dodge City is a huge structure, as it is used to store and ship large quantities of grain for miles around the area. We see a morning view along the Santa Fe main, which is often quiet since most of the freight goes via Amarillo. |

Prairie skyscrapers |
| Description: |
Most towns on the plains had at least one of these tall, concrete structures to house grain to be shipped. They were often the tallest man made structures for miles, and out here on the high plains, they could be seen from a long way off. While these elevators on the Cimarron Valley, a former Santa Fe line, were not the largest in the state by any means, they still had a commanding presence over the surrounding landscape. |

Where the money comes from |
| Description: |
Railroads need stuff to haul if they are going to generate any revenue. One of the prime sources is grain, which is taken from elevator to mill, though sometimes to port. Here in Coffeyville, this feed mill was providing a reason for the railroads existence. |

Big place |
| Description: |
Coffeyville was once an important point on the Missouri Pacific, which had a yard and offices here, as it was a division point. Now, the UP still runs here on the line from Kansas City to Little Rock, but Watco runs all the other lines here, one of them former Santa Fe, which also came to town. Still, the heritage remains intact, at least on the side of the building. |
