1967 St. Louis Train Trip

by davidwilson1949

In the summer of 1967 the Norfolk and Western assigned the open-platform observation car to the Banner Blue between Chicago and St. Louis. I rode down on Saturday, went to a Cardinals-Giants baseball game at newly opened Busch Stadium, and returned the next day.
