A Snowy Landscape Of Union Station In Chicago, Illinois Pictured On An Attractive Acrylic Fridge Magnet

The current Union Station, Chicago opened in 1925 replacing the station that was there previously. It is the only intercity rail station in Chicago and is a terminus. Trains do not pass through the station; passengers need to change trains if they wish to travel on. Union Station is the third busiest train terminal in the United States, with about one hundred and twenty thousand passengers each week day. There is an extensive amount of land above the underground track and platform area of Union Station on which several buildings have been built over the years which have included the Chicago News Building and the Chicago Main Post Office. The picture on this attractive acrylic fridge magnet, from the catalogues of World Wide Gifts, shows a train at Union Station Chicago in a wintry scene.
