The old Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad corporate headquarters on Michigan Avenue. Chicago Illinois USA. June 1986.

The old Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad corporate headquarters building on Michigan Avenue. Chicago Illinois. June 1986.

One of My favorite Chicago railroad office building landmarks from many years ago, was the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad headquarters on South Michigan Avenue near the Chicago Lakefront. This office facility later moved it's operations to Schaumburg Illinois. In 1995, the Burlington Northern Railroad, and the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad had merged and became todays BNSF Railway. I am not sure, but I believe that the old Santa Fe neon rooftop sign may still there today.
