In the Spring 2009 issue of Classic Trains, Hal Lewis presents photos from his “Spring Break” trip to Chicago in 1950. One of his stops was Englewood Union Station, where trains of the Pennsy, NYC, Rock Island, and Nickel Plate mingled. Here, from the Herron Rail Video [www.herronrail.com] program “Glory Machines, Vol. 3,” are some scenes filmed by John Plichta of Englewood in its 1940s heyday.
