Outbound train awaiting departure. Chicago's Northwestern Station. January 1984.

An elderly 1950's vintage EMD E-8 Passenger
diesel locomotive prepares to leave the old-
Northwestern Station in downtown Chicago Il.
Northwestern Station shown here was actually
photographed by me, just a few months before
the old terminal concourse building was to be
demolished. The station was torn down during
the spring and summer of 1984. It was replaced
by a glass skyscraper building originally called
the "Northwestern Atrium Center". After the
1995 Merger of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad, It was renamed to the "Richard B. Ogilvie transportation center", in honor of the late Illinois Govoner Richard B. Olgilvie. The E-8 diesels made their last runs in October 1989.
