Chicago's NorthWestern Station. Chicago Illinois. January 1984., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I took this photograph way back in January of 1984.
Time was running out for the historic 1911 built NorthWestern Station in downtown Chicago, as the classic old structure would be demolished begining in June of that year.
Already a rare sight by this time, were the RTA / Metra double deck Gallery commuter cars that were still wearing the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad's yellow and green color scheme. Most of them had been replaced with the late 1970's era RTA color scheme shown on the cars to the left.
I snapped this 35mm photograph just in time, as the yellow and green Chicago & NorthWestern scheme train was just begining to depart from the station, and was slowly moving in low lighting conditions.
