Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific

Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Chicago, Illinois (La Salle Street Station)
May 31, 1973




This is a slide that was so underexposed as to have been useless before the days of Photoshop and the like. Here La Salle Street statiion is seen from the rear of one of the many Rock Island commuter runs as it leaves downtown Chicago. The tall building in the background is the Chicago Board of Trade building, not to be confused with the station itself which is the smaller building at the end of the train sheds. La Salle Street Station was demolished in early 1982.
