Stations & Structures

Illinois

Bloomington had the shops.

Chicago Union Station was begun in 1874 and included Pennsylvania RR, Chicago Burlington & Quincy, Michigan Central, C&A, and Chicago Milwaukee & St Paul but Michigan Central dropped out before it was opened.  A new station was built beginning in 1913 and opened in 1925.  It was completed in 1927.  When I worked for REA, I spent a lot of time at the regional offices several blocks south of the station.

Dwight has a beautiful stone station built in 1891.  It is now a museum.
