The Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad terminus in Chicago was rebuilt in 1984 as the Ogilvie Transportation Center but this view shows the original station in all its gloom. 1953 built C&NW EMD E8 diesel 521 waits departure northwards. These fine engines have since been withdrawn.

I spent a day in Chicago after an overnight trip on Amtrak's "The Panama Limited" from New Orleans memorable not least by the cockroach that walked into my open mouth during the night as I lay slumped in my seat. I think I woke the whole coach! The elevated railway was most impressive particularly this flat crossing.
