Sat., March 13: ““Terminal City: Chicago’s Passenger Stations in The Golden Era of Rail” by David Clark
March 13, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Terminal City: Chicago’s Passenger Stations in the Golden Era of Rail
From after the Civil War until the rise of commercial jet travel in the early 1960s, anyone wishing to travel long distances across the North American continent likely did so via passenger rail. It is also likely that these folks passed through Chicago’s passenger rail stations on their journeys. Chicago was the gateway between east and west and home to six large stations serving the needs of a majority of the long-haul rail companies. This program will give us a glimpse of the experiences of the passengers who passed through those terminals– each of which had its own unique look and “personality.” We will see that Chicago was indeed the Gateway City for anyone traveling across the country in the era of travel by rail.
