Описание к видео Amtrak Ride St. Louis to Chicago (Circa 1973)

Ride on the former Alton/GM&O from St. Louis to Chicago then back to Joliet. Date unknown, but it couldn't have been long after the August 1972 merger of Illinois Central and Gulf, Mobile & Ohio.

The train ridden was likely #302, the "Abraham Lincoln". Typical of early Amtrak a rainbow consist of locomotives and rolling stock is present, as evidenced by the Penn Central E8 on the point, and the photographer riding ex-Great Northern Parlor-Observation car "Port of Seattle".

Stops were at Alton, Springfield, and Bloomington, including an unplanned stop for what appeared to be a hot bearing.
