Original Caption: Union Station in Portland, Oregon, one of 450 passenger train terminals served by Amtrak in 1974. During that year the corporation listed 8,800 employees and operated 225 trains per day. A steady decline in ridership from the end of World War II to 1970 has been reversed since Amtrak assumed responsibility for most U.S. intercity passenger service. A total of 14.5 million passengers rode the rails in 1973, July 1974
