The Chicago & North Western Railway terminal in Chicago, Illinois was one of the most magnificent and beautiful train stations in the country. It was built in 1888 and served as the C&NWs primary station until it was closed in 1970. The station was demolished soon after, but remnants of it still exist today...

Chicago Northwestern passenger terminal is rich in history. It was one of the largest passenger terminals in the United States. Built on thirteen acres of land, the terminal was largely inspired by the early Italian Renaissance. It opened in 1911 and attracted thousands of passengers every single day. Even though it was demolished in 1984, the Chicago Northwestern passenger terminal ushered in a new era in passenger care and set a precedent throughout Chicago.
