Chicago's history is tightly linked to its railroads. Railroad historian Fred Ash begins in the mid 1800's, when Chicago dominated Midwest trade and was referred to as the "Railroad Capital of the World." During this period, swings in the political climate significantly modified the relationship between the local government and its largest landholders, the railroads. From here, Ash highlights competition at the turn of the twentieth century between railroad companies that greatly influenced Chicago's urban landscape. Profiling the fascinating stories of businessmen, politicians, workers, and immigrants whose everyday lives were affected by the bustling transportation hub, Ash documents the impact Union Station had on the growing city and the entire Midwest. Featuring more than 100 photographs of the famous Beaux-Arts architecture, Chicago Union Station is a beautifully illustrated tribute to one of America's overlooked treasures."--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction: the continental divide -- Humble beginnings -- Coming together -- A depot worthy of Chicago -- A most public service -- A colossus of the roads -- City within a city -- Red ink in the white city -- Remodeling the depot, remaking the city. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 20 $a Union Station (Chicago, Ill.) $x History. 610 27 $a Union Station (Chicago, Ill.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00726917 650 0 $a Railroad stations $z Chicago $z Chicago $x History. 650 0 $a Railroad stations $z Chicago $z Chicago $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Railroads $z Chicago $z Chicago $x Passenger traffic. 650 7 $a Railroad stations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01088652 650 7 $a Railroads $x Passenger traffic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01089085 651 7 $a Illinois $z Chicago. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204048 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ash, Fred. $t Chicago Union Station. $b 1st edition. $d Bloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, [2018] $z 9780253029157 $w (DLC) 2017060511 830 0 $a Railroads past and present. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605014308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11C773B2688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
