{"product_id":"chicago-stations-trains-photo-archive","title":"Chicago Stations \u0026 Trains Photo Archive","description":"No other American city had such a fascinating group of railroad \npassenger stations as Chicago. This book highlights Chicago's six major \nrailroad stations and the trains that served them. Included are Dearborn \nStation, Grand Central Station, Central Station, La Salle Street \nStation, North Western Station, and Union Station. During the heyday of \npassenger trains, Chicago was the undisputed rail center of the United \nStates and its railroad stations were the gates to everywhere. Chicago's \nrailroad stations featured superb architecture with marble floors and \nstaircases, while restaurants, newsstands and shops filled the concourse \nareas. Steel latticework beams helped support glass-domed roofs and \npublic address systems echoed train information throughout the \nhigh-ceiling stations. Huge station clocks loomed above the brass and \nneon train bulletin boards that listed \"On Time\" trains. Beyond the \nboarding gates, the constant parade of trains sounded with clanging \nbells and rumbling steel wheels. Historic photographs feature name \ntrains like Super Chief, Capitol Limited, 20th Century Limited, Broadway \nLimited, California Zephyr, Hiawatha, 400, and City of Denver. Included \nare maps, station drawings, timetables and promotional advertising.","brand":"Ertel Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39682720104519,"sku":"B05322","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/9781583882160-us_2b39058a-5c63-4d14-9399-e2007fb381c8.jpg?v=1772273103","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/ar\/products\/chicago-stations-trains-photo-archive","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
