| Jim Arvites posted View of Chicago & North Western rush hour commuter train preparing to depart downtown Chicago circa early 1970's. (Henry Huehl Photo) Brian A Morgan: The departing train is departing from the very track in which the 400 used to board and depart from. Where engine # 512 is; Is the track in which the Union Pacific / C&NW / SP Overland Limited used to arrive and depart from. The next two tracks closer to the River away from # 512 is where the City of San Francisco and the City of Los Angeles used to depart from. Half the station complex was used for intercity Passenger trains and the East tracks for Commuter services and locals. Locals consisted of trains to Milwaukee, Madison, Lake Geneva, Rockford and points less than 200 miles from Chicago. |
Timothy Leppert We used to see a watchmaker there to have the balance wheel repaired on our pocket watches. One CBQ Engineer had a pocket watch that chimed the time when closed. He said on steam he could open then close it and place it on his ear to hear the time. My pocket watches go back many Generations in my family. Nice to have.
Mitch Markovitz The jeweler at the depot was Eddy Lurgio, Terminal Jewelers. A great guy and friend. When he retired at the time the depot was being torn down he moved to Sandwich, Illinois. I went there a few years back and couldn't find him.

Robert Bertram: It was a historically designated building which corrupt people managed to bypass. After so many great buildings were leveled, by 1983, we should have known better.
David Daruszka: Robert Bertram It was not a historic landmark. I worked with a group of people who submitted the building for landmark designation. That status was rejected after public hearings, clearing the way for the buildings demolition.

Jeff Nichols posted three photos with the comment: "Train sheds, Chicago & North Western Passenger Terminal. Catalogued 1900-1915. I will venture that this is not an image from the Wells Street station, but from the new station that opened in 1911. LOC"
