Century in Motion Festival: Join us for a mini-bus excursion to explore the legacy of the six great railroad stations that were once vibrant parts of downtown Chicago. We’ll look at some of the remarkable features of each terminal, discuss the efforts made to consolidate them before and after the Plan of Chicago, and the future possibilities for high-speed rail. Historians will greet our group at several historic station sites, including Daniel Burnham’s Union Station. Tour departs from DePaul’s Computer and Digital Media building at the northeastern corner of Jackson & Wabash at 9:30 a.m. and will conclude at 1 p.m. Minimum age is 16, cost is $35.
