Question: I notice of mix of different styles of gallery cars. It's obvious that some are a much newer design. The older ones look like the initial batch that dates back to the early 1950's (smaller windows, wider fluting), although I can't imagine they'd still be in use 70 years later. How far back do the oldest cars that appear in this video date as to manufacture? I lived in La Grange during the 1960's and recall the first batch of gallery cars fondly.
First rate rail video, great ride! Thank you for no zoom, or irritating background "music"! Cheerio!
Excellent ride.
Thank you!

33:43 Gallagher House on your right.
I used to ride that line a few times. Naperville to Chicago and then later Westmont to Chicago to catch Amtrak back to Michigan.
Is that in the evening rush-hour
