An elderly EMD E-8 in pre Metra RTA markings, is seen idling between commuter runs at Chicago's NorthWestern Station. Approximately one month after I had taken this photograph, the old 1911 built NorthWestern Station was being demolished. The old station concourse building was replaced with a tall glass skyscraper office building, originally called The NorthWestern Atrium Center. Sometime after the 1998 Union Pacific / Chicago & NorthWestern Merger, the building was renamed to the Richard B. Ogilvie Transportation Center in honor of the late Illinois Govoner. This scene looks virtually timeless.Friday, March 02, 2007
