Chicago, Burlington & Quincy [Burlington Northern]
Chicago, Illinois (Union Station)
July 28, 1971




Both Amtrak (April 1, 1971) and Burlington Northern (March 2, 1970) were in place by this time, but you'd never know it from this business-as-usual scene at Chicago Union Station, seen from Roosevelt Road with plenty of activity going on. A Chicago, Burlington & Quincy commuter run passes an unidentified long-distance domeliner on the left. Several Penn Central units of uncertain parentage are busy at right.
