Chicago Union Station is the newest of Chicago's great railway terminals. Its creators recognized the potential of combining the newest building and railway technologies. The station's architects created a design in accordance with the Chicago Plan, an elegant design for a city rising from the success of the Columbian Exhibition of 1893. Chicago Union Station was served by four major railroads all coming from different directions, at different times with one common purpose-to extend their properties and participate in the growing commerce of Chicago. The railroads serving the station were the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific (The Milwaukee Road), and the Chicago and Alton (later merged with the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio). This book is intended to provide a glimpse into the exciting history of and daily operations at Chicago Union Station in the years before Amtrak. Enjoy the journey. Retail $ 29.95.
