Rick Burn captured a couple trains laying over at the Madison, Wisconsin station on Saturday, May 27, 1967.  This was the first day of a three day "Memorial Day" weekend. The train next to the station was the first of east bound "Student Specials" operated as Passenger Extra 36A East.  This one was made up of Milw commuter E9A 36 c and gallery cars.  These specials carried students  to their homes east of Madison.  The train in the distance was #22 the Sioux.  It was waiting for the Student Special to depart, then the Sioux would pull up to the station to board passengers for the morning run to Chicago.  I scanned and edited this image from an original Kodak Kodachrome slide.

Todd Temperly: I recognize the Cardinal Bar to the right. I lived in the upstairs apartments for several years in the late 1990's. Never realized there use to be a station across the street.

later station @ Franklin St. No info on the date.
Chuck Boehm: Thomas Manz If you look closely, it looks like they cut down the depot. The arched window on the end is the same.
