The entrance to the skywalk over Canal Street to the Ogilvie Transportation Center, where Chicago & North Western line commuter trains arrive and depart Chicago, Illinois, is still labeled for C&NW over twenty years after the railway’s demise. “Union Pacific commuter trains” just doesn’t sound right anyway. In 1997, the C&NW station was named for Richard B. Ogilvie, a lifelong railroad proponent, who, as governor of Illinois, created the Regional Transportation Authority, which is the parent agency of Metra that now operates all trains serving Ogilvie Transportation Center.
