“Evidence of Penn Central’s pre-1968 legacy — New York Central, Pennsylvania, and PC-painted units — is clearly visible in this 1970 view of LaSalle Street Station. Chicago’s famous Roosevelt Road provided a great view of the downtown passenger terminals.”

“The photo is of the GM&O (actually ICG) commuter train called the ‘Plug’ being backed into Chicago Union Station and a fraction of the puzzle switches on May 26, 1974. The shot is from the Roosevelt Road Viaduct.”
