Amtrak terminal switchig activity at South Wye unction near Chicago Union Station. Chicago Illinois. November 1983.

I took this photograph one overcast morning, way back in November of 1983.

We are on location just south of Chicago Union Station, at a place known as South Wye Junction near West 18th Street near downtown Chicago Illinois.

Much Amtrak terminal switching activity is taking place here, near South Union Tower. (Gone - Demolished.) Amtrak Heritage Fleet cars dominate the scene complete with a classic dome car from the 1950's era still in daily Amtrak service, but not for much longer.
