“A classic commuter scene at the Rock Island Vermont Street station in Blue Island, Illinois, October 1976. Check out those stylish 70's rides waiting to pick up people from the train!”
Both cars and the locomotive are General Motors products: Chevy Impala, Olds Ninety Eight, EMD F7.

"One of the prettiest dinner trains, if not the most popular, was this Wisconsin & Calumet offering, which ran back in the early 1990's. Here it is, approaching Zenda on Saturday, Oct 5, 1991. Two F7s, one on each end of the train, were the power. The entire train was painted in Illinois Central inspired chocolate and orange and looked fantastic rolling through the countryside.”
