Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 71, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 March 1915 — Mammoth Depot for Chicago. [ARTICLE]

Mammoth Depot for Chicago.

Thousands of workmen were put to work Monday on Chicago's mammoth new depot, a $65,000,000 project, which is to be completed in December, 1918. The new depot will house the Pennsylvania, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Burlington and Quincy, and the Chicago and Alton. It will replace the old structure at Canal and Adams streets. The erection of the station means the straightening of the Chicago river for several blocks. The plans call for 26 tracks in the passenger terminal.
