about US
We’re still thrilled by the sights and sounds of trains today, but the classics are just a joy to see, read about and watch and hear on video. We bring that to you here at Classic Streamliners. Meet your conductors below.
About this photograph
Prolific railfan photographer Roger Puta caught the Illinois Central’s Hawkeye at Central Station in Chicago on April 4th, 1971. Less than a month before Amtrak took over the nation’s passenger trains. Roger died way too young in 1990. His friends continue to go through Roger’s many thousands of photos.
