End of an Era: Joliet Union Station CLOSED - Visit in its Final Days

On September 26th, 2014, Metra turned out the light on Joliet Union Station. Following the morning rush, operations were moved to new platforms in the northeast quadrant of the junction, opposite the century-old JUS. Visit in early August, while the station was still fully in operation, and watch three hours worth of action at the busy crossroads. 14 Trains are seen - nearly 5 per hour. There are multi-way meets, races, and more! Trains continue to use the busy junction, but major changes are in store as Joliet upgrades its infrastructure for the 21st Century. On May 2, 2015, UD Tower itself was closed for good. Like the station, it remains, and may potentially become a museum. TODAY, the station's old platforms have re-opened for railroad viewing, with a nice black fence lining the edge of the platforms. It is now very much like Durand Union Station in those respects. Also, the classic signal bridges are gone, replaced with new equipment. Filmed from 12:00 to 15:00 CDT, on August 10, 2014.
