No other American city had such a fascinating group of railroad
passenger stations as Chicago. This book highlights Chicago's six major
railroad stations and the trains that served them. Included are Dearborn
Station, Grand Central Station, Central Station, La Salle Street
Station, North Western Station, and Union Station. During the heyday of
passenger trains, Chicago was the undisputed rail center of the United
States and its railroad stations were the gates to everywhere. Chicago's
railroad stations featured superb architecture with marble floors and
staircases, while restaurants, newsstands and shops filled the concourse
areas. Steel latticework beams helped support glass-domed roofs and
public address systems echoed train information throughout the
high-ceiling stations.

No other American city had such a fascinating group of railroad passenger stations as Chicago. This book highlights Chicago's six major railroad stations and the trains that served them. Included are Dearborn Station, Grand Central Station, Central Station, La Salle Street Station, North Western Station, and Union Station. During the heyday of passenger trains, Chicago was the undisputed rail center of the United States and its railroad stations were the gates to everywhere. Chicago's railroad stations featured superb architecture with marble floors and staircases, while restaurants, newsstands and shops filled the concourse areas. Steel latticework beams helped support glass-domed roofs and public address systems echoed train information throughout the high-ceiling stations. Huge station clocks loomed above the brass and neon train bulletin boards that listed "On Time" trains. Beyond the boarding gates, the constant parade of trains sounded with clanging bells and rumbling steel wheels. Historic photographs feature name trains like Super Chief, Capitol Limited, 20th Century Limited, Broadway Limited, California Zephyr, Hiawatha, 400, and City of Denver. Included are maps, station drawings, timetables and promotional advertising.
