Passenger rail is down quite a bit from its "hey-day". My first long
distance trip was from Springfield, IL to St. Louis on the GM&O (now/
currently) ATSF. Jumped onto CB&Q`s Twin Citiies Express to Faribault,
MN. Along the way motive power and crews weere changed and it became
a Rock Island "Rocket" Bv)=

If I read that right you were aq bus driver???? Hardly ever see passenger
busses around here. Greyhound maintains a passenger terminal at a local
auto salvage and towing firm. Trailways has disappearede. Lots of big
charter busses like Windy City Tours.
Last airplane ride I took was from SPI to DCA direct and was a round trip.
The plane was a twin turboprop Fairchild puddle jumper.
