FL MIAMI .JPG
The Amtrak Floridian passenger train that operated between Chicago, Illinois and Miami, Florida ceased operation in 1979. It was the last passenger train that serviced Louisville. Kentucky as well. These photographs document the final days for the workers in the Chicago Yards, the Amtrak employees aboard the train, an engineer,, W.C. Roddy, that drove the train between Louisville and Bowling Green, KY and the passengers who enjoyed riding the rails.
Pictured: Miami is the end of the line, and also the beginning. A father and his sons, weary of waiting, prepare to board the Floridian for the journey to Chicago. The large and modern Miami station serves many rail lines.
