ENGLEWOOD
UNION
STATION, CHICAGO.
The
attention of patrons is directed to the facilities for transfer between
the East and West afforded by the Englewood Union (Sixty-third Street)
Station. The through trains of a number of Eastern lines (before
entering Chicago terminals) and all Rock Island trains (after leaving
La Salle Station) stop at this station.
The streamlined and Diesel-powered Rocky Mountain Rocket made its debut on the overnight run between Chicago and Colorado on November 12, 1939. An editorial comment in the December 1940 Guide notes the trains first anniversary and states that in that first year of operation the train carried over 132,000 passengers.
