- The terminal in question is the IC (now Metra) Randolph Street/So.
- Water Street suburban station. The South Shore began using the
- Randolph Street facility in 1912 and still run today from this
- "temporary" terminal. The platforms look temporary because
- Randolph Street was never planned to be a permanent terminal for
- the CSS&SB.
