Illinois Central originated the

famous "City of New Orleans"

train from Chicago to "Big Easy"

It remains in operation with

that same name by Amtrak

Willie Nelson recorded the song

beautifully but didn't write it

In looking at the rr cars, the peoples' clothing, and the car @ R, I can't ID the era for sure. In '57, when RB went to rubber tires, the elephants traveled by system boxcars, as seen @ L. Is that what we see here?
