Chicago, South Shore & South Bend train at the former Randolph Street Station. Chicago Illinois USA. June 1994.

I took this photo on one of the open air platforms at the former Randolph Street Station in downtown Chicago Illinois. This facility located near Chicago's Grant Park, served electric commuter and interurban trains from the Illinois Central ( Suburban service electrified in 1926.), and the Chicago, South Shore & South Bend Railroad. This view is no longer available today, as this site was reconstructed into an underground subway style station during the late 1990's and early 2000's by Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. This scene is now the site of Chicago's Milenium Park today.
