This is a photo of the long gone NorthWestern Station in downtown Chicago Illinois. The old station was built in 1911, and replaced by a modern glass syscraper building after demolition in 1984. This is the concourse and waiting area during it's last months in operation. After NorthWestern Station was demolished during the summer of 1984, It was replaced by a building originally known as the Northwestern Atrium Center. After the Union Pacific Railroad absorbed the former Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad through a merger in 1998, the skyscraper was renamed to the Richard B. Ogilvie Transportation Center, after the late Illinois Govoner who passed away in 1988.Thursday, September 06, 2007
