click for more info
   The legacy of Chicago's rich rail history is found in the daily influx of suburban workers heading downtown, as five train terminals serve about 130,000 commuters traveling from the outer reaches of the metropolitan area. In addition, weekend and holiday trains shuttle residents to Chicago's stations, from where people branch out to any number of attractions the city offers.
