Original Caption: The Lone Star passenger train slowly makes its way past debris which resulted from a freight train derailment in Oklahoma which disrupted rail traffic for two days. Old equipment received from the nation’s railroads and the poor condition of some of the track and roadbeds leased by Amtrak has caused problems. As old equipment is replaced and roadbeds are improved, some of the problems are disappearing. This train is enroute from Chicago to Houston, Texas, June 1974
