Train passengers bound for St. Louis, Missouri, board a chartered bus in Fort Worth, Texas, June 1974

Original Caption: Train passengers bound for St. Louis, Missouri, board a chartered bus in Fort Worth, Texas. The Inter-American train from Laredo, Texas, reported only two of its six cars had air conditioning that worked and the temperature was in the high 90's. Old equipment and needed repairs to track and roadbed caused problems for Amtrak in the three years after its takeover of most U.S. intercity rail passenger service in 1971. The corporation is working to correct the deficiencies, June 1974
