[Heading North On] The City of New Orleans

train shed

Ralph - a few years ago I took the Amtrak into Chicago from Iowa, and then from Chicago to NY. The rush of people at 5 PM as they were eagerly running through Union Station to their trains to connect to the Metra, was exhilarating.

BEN --

My cousin used to work on the 87th floor of the Sears tower.   Dave and I flew into Chicago and took the El into the Loop, where we met her at work and killed time waiting for her day to end.  I remember looking down at all of the activity at the station with trains backing into the shed in advance of the commute, and thinking about the atmosphere you described.  The demise of the old Union Station concourse I passed through as a kid was a huge loss.
