When I was a kid (early '60s before the civil rights act) we lived in the south for about 2 years. That sort of thing was common everywhere, even drinking fountains and restrooms, not just railroads. From time to time when things like this are brought up I find myself shocked and offended by it. I find it hard to believe things were this way even though I have seen it with my own eyes. We have come a long way and I think unfortunately we still have a long way to go. It is part of our history, we can't deny that, but we can keep trying to improve things to ensure equality for everyone.
