About Chicago Union Station
Union Station opened in 1925, replacing the earlier 1881 station, and is now the only intercity rail terminal in Chicago. Union Station was built on the west side of the Chicago River and stands between Adams Street and Jackson Street. It is, including approach and storage tracks, about nine and a half city blocks in size, and almost entirely beneath the streets and skyscrapers. Since the station is underground, exhaust from the trains is a problem which is demonstrated by its dark ceilings.
