The Amtrak Floridian passenger train that ran 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 that drove the train between Louisville and Bowling Green, KY and the passengers who enjoyed riding the rails.
