I read that a lot of the railroads built a station at 63rd Street because of the 1893 Colombian Exposition.

| Bill Molony posted The Baltimore & Ohio depot at 63rd Street. Richard Fiedler I believe the depot across the street was torn down 69-70 just before I graduated. Bill Molony The B&O's Capital Limited stopped at the 63rd Street depot right up until April of 1971 when Amtrak took over, so it was torn down sometime after that. Brian Morgan posted This station which formerly stood at the intersection of West 63rd Street and South Bell Avenue on Chicago's Southwest side was the Baltimore and Ohio Chicago Terminal Railway Station. This station hosted not only the Flagship train out of Chicago's Grand Central station but also other Baltimore and Ohio Railways and the Pere Marquette(C&O.) Railways passenger trains inbound and outbound to and from Downtown Chicago's Grand Central station. This station has gone to the proverbial ghost. Bill Molony According to the Official Guide to the Railways, the B&O's Capital Limited and the C&O's Pere Marquette were scheduled to stop at this station as late as April of 1971 - just prior to the coming of Amtrak.
