Viewing Album:  A Special Hoosier at Dyer, IN
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:7/2/2012 - 7/2/2012
Album Info:With the talk of dropping the Hoosier (Indianapolis to Chicago) and possible cutbacks on the Cardinal schedule looming again throughout Indiana, I thought I better post these pics of the Hoosier arriving at our local Dyer, IN, depot with the Special Services car and dinette at the front of the train. This serves as the office of the Amtrak Inspector General and his pewsonal dinette car. His input on that day might well decide the fate of Amtrak at our local depot!
