Made this video during a 5-minute stop in Longview at the Amtrak Station. The station was restored not long ago. What's crazy about the old Longview Depot is was segregated. The first waiting room (West Waiting Room) was "whites only" - note how much bigger it is. The second waiting room (East Waiting Room) was "coloreds only" and is about half the size. Notice how both waiting rooms have their own ticket windows. Thank God times have changed.

Check it out.
