As promised, here is a complete set of links to the photos and videos I took on this week long trip. There are over 400 pictures taken over the seven days I was traveling. The video is probably close to 45 - 60 minutes, I would guess, maybe less.
Interesting thing is, never once on any train, in any station, or anywhere near trains did anyone question me about taking pictures. Only once was I told to stop. That was on the plane as we were about to land in IND. The flight attendant said the camera was electronic equipment and I had to turn it off as we landed. So I did. Never had that happen before on a plane.
The photo page has seven galleries available, just click on a picture to go to a particular set of pictures. In the upper right hand section of a picture page you can select several different ways to view the pictures. Slide Show is available.
Enjoy - and let me know of any questions or comments, please. I'm not up to Neil's standards, but I enjoy taking them. See if you can spot The University of Michigan Big House in the Flying Home pictures.
PICTURES
The videos are as follows:
Flying to Detroit to Chicago Part One
Flying to Detroit to Chicago Part Two
Inbound Metra at Des Plaines
One Way To Drive To Work
Metra in Des Plaines
Metra Into Chicago
Blue Line From Western Toward O'Hare
Blue Line Train at Rosemont Station
Window Scenes - Southbound CONO
New Orleans Street Car Scenes
CONO Into Chicago
Hiawatha Train Scenes
Flying Home - Take Off at Detroit
I can hardly wait for Boston when I will be able to ride Amtrak again.
