Amtrak Metropolitan Lounge in Chicago

[conrailman]

Did anyone see the New Lounge in Chicago yet, anyone got Pictures of the lounge Yet? Did Trains sent down Bob Johnston yet to get Pictures?[?]

No pictures, but I was in it yesterday for a while, with my nephew (he was going steerage, and we probably shouldn't have been there). But it had comfortable chairs, a couple of TV screens, complimentary beverages (non-alcoholic, thankfully), and lots of babies crawling around (yes, I noticed them--babies are OK; it's the whining six-year-olds that get to you).

Further comment: whoever was making the P.A. system announcements thatwere heard in that lounge was on the verge of losing it, I thought. Fortunately, the gateperson we encountered was much more civil. That entire Union Station is like a rats' maze, as far as I'm concerned; glad I don't have to deal with it too often.

Is everything inside new Stuff like Chairs, TV?

Some new-looking; some probably not.
