Chicago & North Western 0-6-0 2624 passes the busy C&NW-MILW-PRR junction at Western Avenue, Chicago, with a Union Pacific sleeping car bound for North Western Station, where it will join a train for the West Coast. The Pullman had arrived at Grand Central Station or La Salle Street Station on a B&O or NYC train from the East Coast.

  1. Were passengers permitted to ride on these transfer runs, or did they have to take the transfer buses from station to station?

  2. Nice shot from the days of “coast to coast” Pullmans through Chicago from my late great friend Bob Malinosky.
