$20,000,000 FOR NEW DEPOT IN CHICAGO TERMINAL
Chicago plans a vast new passenger station to cost at least 20 million dollars, occupying three blocks between Canal and Clinton and West Madison to Lake, with new rights of way for Milwaukee and Galena divisions. Real estate costs, condemnation, and site acquisition rise toward 4.5 million for the depot area. The Galena & Chicago Union chartered 1836 is cited as the system’s humble start, now a 10,000 mile main track empire earning 70 million annually with 40,000 workers.
