"Chicago, often referred to as the crossroads of America, holds a unique position in the converging point for railroads that cross our nation. This significant federal investment is a strategic move to ensure our city remains not just a crossroads, but a thriving nexus that efficiently connects people, goods, and ideas. It's an acknowledgement that Union Station must adapt and innovate to cater to the evolving needs of our residents and the broader American landscape.
