IF I remember right, the Monon ticket agent and waiting room were in the lobby of the Lahr Hotel.

Excellent photo of a railroad known for its street running. No. 6 was the Louisville-Chicago "Thoroughbred."

I don't think it gets much better than this. Thank you for sharing this wonderful photo.

Wonderful photograph, Roger ... thanks for posting this classic image.

Almost looks like "Christine" to the left of the train. (Wrong auto model, I know.) If Stephen King and filmmaker John Carpenter's weird fantasy were so, that big boy to her left would be who could tame her.

Its a 1955 Chevrolet.
|
Something quite unique to US railroads...running down ther main street....most likely a follow on from the stage coach days ;o)
|
And right next to the hotel is a place that has liquor, beer, and pit bbq add in street running trains I'd never leave there.

Nice job!
Does this street trackage still exist?
