Chicago's Union Station was built in 1925 and is one of the last remaining grand American railway stations. The station replaced the overcrowded Grand Passenger Station built in 1881 for a consortium of four railroads.This consortium, headed by the Pennsylvania railroad wanted to create a new, large railway station befitting the city's status as America's railway hub. They wanted the station to make an architectural impact, similar to New York's Grand Central Terminal and Washington's Union Station.

Although the station could handle as many as 400,000 passengers per day, about 100,000 passengers made use of the station during its heyday in the 1940s. The station has two sets of tracks, 10 leading northbound and ten southbound. It is estimated to be capable of handling more than 700 trains in a single day.

Daniel Burnham, Chicago's famous architect who was responsible for the beautiful Beaux-Arts Union Station in Washington, started drawing plans for the new railway station, but sadly passed away before the design was completed. His work was taken over by Graham, Anderson and Probst, later joined by White.
