Description
These timetables from Amtrak, the popular name of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, show the new marketing for Amtrak’s trains through the 1970s. Amtrak had taken over nearly all passenger trains in 1972. You can see a mix of old imagery and new artwork as the company sought customers while appealing to nostalgia of the golden age of passenger rail.
