Thanks for posting, Bob!

That was a neat ride in the WayBack Machine!

I remember gasping at some of those red and purple interiors thinking that 'ol George Pullman must be flipping over in his grave!

Well… THAT was the '70s [%-)] Ed

I know the lady in photo 17. She retired from an Amtrak management position a couple years ago with almost 40 years’ service. She’s a witty, talented, classy lady, and she’s enjoying an active retirement.

I like looking at all Amtrak kinds photos through 1971-present, it’s nice to see employees and passengers.

I believe that photos 7 & 12 are the same girl.

I was amazed with photo 9. It always questions me on why she has that expression.(shocked, angry/upset) I been looking at that picture, it surprised very time I see it.

I wish I knew what Amtrak was trying to say. Or it might be a private picture, when someone was traveling.
