Honoring the Pullman Porters

Amtrak was a sponsor of the first annual Pullman National Monument Train Days event, May 14 and 15, 2022 in Chicago. Ray and Al Quiroz are brothers that worked at Pullman and were part of the crew that built the last car to roll off the Pullman Company Assembly Line in 1981 before the company shut down. That car, #32009, Superliner sleeper "George Pullman" is still in Amtrak service. The car is behind them in the photo. Amtrak displayed the car at Pullman Train Days in Chicago for public tours. The Advisory Board for the Friends of Pullman National Monument is made up of members throughout the Chicago area, including the immediate community, which is majority-minority. The tours were open to all residents and a sizable number from the community attended, including an organized group from the local technical high school.
