A section of the streamlined train car is shown protruding through the waiting room of the suburban Chicago depot. The separate caption and photo are mounted together on the same piece of paper. Measures approximately 8" × 8" overall. The photo's right edge is heavily curled, creased and distorted, with additional age-related wear. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
