Brings back memories.!! I worked in this station back in 1954 as a mail and baggage handler. It was fun meeting trains at night loading mail and seeing the 400's during the day.!!
[400's were C&NW trains, but I had to look at a lot of comments before I found that this was the Milwaukee station.]

This is the last of Rick Burn's CNW "400" slides -- Train 160, The Streamliner 400 at Milwaukee, WI in December 1960.

Jason Moors: At the time, one had 3 choices on how to get to Chicago--the Milwaukee Road,the C&NW or the CNS&M--was the Streamliner 400 merely a corridor run between Milwaukee and Chicago? Of the roads, which had the most departures to choose from?
Jon Roma: Jason Moors, the North Shore hands down. They had hourly service between Chicago and Milwaukee.

The clock tower is obviously part of the C&NW Depot's headhouse. The headhouse was east of Marshall St. along the south side of Wisconsin Ave. (The layout of the streets in this area was different back then.)

The Chicago and North Western Train Depot (aka Lake Front Depot) served as many as 98 trains per day between its completion in 1890 and its demolition in 1968.
