Chicago Intercity Passenger Trains In Color Volume 2: Early Amtrak 1971-1984

 

The story of Chicago's status as the hub of America's national passenger train network continues, with this study of the early days of Amtrak operations (1971-1990)! The era began with a medley of mixed equipment and ever-changing schedules and ended with the uniformity we now see. This volume captures that time and place, focusing primarily on the 1970s and early 1980s with 280 outstanding color images, both exterior and interior views, of these trains and their operations!

Reading in the Conrail Era Volume 1: 1976-1982

 

Volume 1 begins with a sampling of the final year of the Reading as an independent company and continues with a look at the first seven years of the railroad as an important component of the new Conrail system. We see the multi-color motive power of early Conrail gradually transforming into CR “dress blue” with more variety provided by the diesels of the Delaware & Hudson, whose trackage rights over the Reading continued into the Conrail era.
