Phase I + III - a photo on Flickriver

Phase I + III

            Amtrak "Phase 1" heritage unit 156 backs in to Chicago Union Station with one of the Amtrak tour trains during National Train Day, as Amtrak "Phase III" heritage unit 145 pulls out with another tour train.

This scene is no longer repeatable today.  This area at Canal Street on the north side of Chicago Union Station has now been covered with a new "air rights" high rise.  And Amtrak 145 was damaged in a collision with a cement truck while carrying a bunch of Republican congressmen to a special retreat in early 2018.
