Caption: “The Chicago & Western Indiana Railroad was the owner of Dearborn Station in Chicago and the trackage leading to it. It was owned equally by five of the railroads using it to reach the terminal, and kept those companies from needing their own lines into the city. In 1994 it became a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Corporation.“
