I travel to and from Chicago Union Station very often on Metra trains. They approach from the south and when it's a busy day for Amtrak and the yard is clear I can sometimes spot older baggage cars and now and then an old coach (sometimes even a heavyweight) sitting around. Sometimes they're in non-Amtrak colors as well. But they look far too tattered and run-down to be private cars. <br /> <br />Does anybody have any information on the older equipment that may still be lying around Chicago Union Station? Where did it come from? What former railroads are represented? <br /> <br />Also I'm wondering if anybody knows of any locations in, on, or around Union Station where any pre-Amtrak signage might still exist. Like perhaps a PRR or Milwaukee, or anything else logo, or something. That would be pretty interesting to see. <br /> <br />Somwhere in that complex there must still be some old stuff to see. Anybody have ay info? Thanks in advance...
