Passenger Trains > C.U.S. - A Photographic Narrative

I have a set of duplicate slides from early 70s titled: CUS - A Photographic Narrative. It is 90 slides of CUS before it was reconstructed. Many old pics of the interior and many pre-Amtrak trains. Very well done and informative. Does anyone know who did this picture show? I don't want to place any of the pics on TO without permission.

Thanks for your help.

There was a slide show that I saw a couple of times at different events years ago by Mel Patrick, a fine rail photographer. It had many excellent images of Chicago Union Station. It was multi-projector slides with synchronized taped music and dissolves between slides, in what was then considered to be pretty high tech. An excellent program that was enjoyed by all who saw it. The images were all first rate. I don't know if that's the program you have, but that's one I've seen that comes to mind.

Yes. I am sure you are right about Mel Patrick.

Mel has asked if you would post one of the images for identification.

I found this show on the photodex web site. Photodex is the company which makes ProShow Gold which many here on TO(including me) use to develop digital multimedia slide shows You first have to download a free plugin for IE (ONLY) then you can run the show. I normally use chrome but the plugin only works for internet explorer. There are considerably more than 90 images. Here is the link to that show http://www.photodex.com/share/raildudemel/6g2ckgg4 it was quite enjoyable.

I had forgotten about the R&LHS Stindt Award. Now that you jogged my memory about it, I recall that when the award was announced I was very pleased, as it was well deserved indeed. It's a terrific program.

I used the link noted above and watched the whole complete show! Magnificent. I was transported back to my college days in Chicago. Thank you.
