Dearborn Station, Chicago 1959 - 1961

Always my favorite Chicago station. In and out on the Texas Chief numerous times.

Very interesting footage. I've seen photographs, but not any videos. I'm amazed at how filthy all these buildings were in the late 50's. At 01:47, the building in the background is the back side of the Conrad Hilton Hotel on Michigan Ave. At this time, it was black from smoke, as was the tower at Dearborn Station as well. Thanks for putting this out, commenting to help you get some views.

2:09 facing north from Northwestern Station, not Dearborn.

Thank you for adding detail! The original footage was labeled Dearborn, but as you correctly point out there are scenes form other Chicago stations.
