I found this historic Chicagoland area railroad photograph from 1966, at My Link page Yesteryear Depot.Com located to the right of Your computer screen.
When I was growing up in Chicago during the 1960's and early 1970's era, one of My personal favorites amongst the many railroads that had served the Windy City, was the former Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.
During pre Amtrak times prior to 1971, the former C,B & Q operated several daily passenger trains in and out of Chicago. One of those trains, was the C,B & Q "City of Denver". This Chicago to Denver Colorado streamline passenger train, is viewed arriving at the west suburban Riverside Illinois station way back in July of 1966.
