- Specifically, the entrance to the terminal is on the southwest corner of
- Randolph St. and Michigan Ave. South Shore trains also stop at Van Buren
- and Michigan and a number of other stations along the ex-IC electric line
- before diverging toward Indiana.

- Anyone who has never ridden the South Shore should try to ride the entire
- 90-mile route -- the line traverses an interesting mix of residential,
- industrial, and rural territory.
