C&NW Chicago Station
Title:  C&NW Chicago Station
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway station on Madison Street in Chicago, Illinois on October 24, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. In 1984 the head house (pictured), built in 1911, was razed and replaced with the glass-and-steel 42-story Citicorp Center, which was completed three years later in 1987, renamed the Ogilvie Transportation Center in 1997. The time shown by the clocks doesn't match, but I think it was Five PM. I wonder what was under the domes over the clocks. And a personal remark; I would not have chosen to advertise Fast Freight Service on the railroad's premier passenger station. The following is from the Wikipedia page on the Ogilvie Transportation Center:

The Chicago and North Western Railway built the Chicago and North Western Terminal in 1911 to replace its Wells Street Station across the North Branch of the Chicago River. The new station, in the Renaissance Revival style, was designed by Frost and Granger, also the architects for the 1903 La Salle Street Station. The station's 16 tracks were elevated above street level and reached by six approach tracks and sheltered under an 894-foot-long [272 meter] Bush train shed. The upper level of the head house housed a concourse and other facilities for intercity passengers, including dressing rooms, baths, nurses and matrons rooms, and a doctor's office. The centerpiece of the upper level was a stately waiting room, measuring 201 by 202 feet (34 by 62 meters), and rising 84 feet (approx. 26 meters) to its barrel-vaulted ceiling. In addition to the main concourse on the upper level, there was a street-level concourse for commuters.
