Thousands of people pass through this downtown intersection every day, but this corner has been keeping Chicago moving for more than a century.
The Randolph/Wabash “L” station opened in 1896 and served generations of commuters before closing in 2017. It was replaced by the modern Washington/Wabash station one block south.
Today, the intersection is surrounded by Chicago landmarks, including the historic Macy’s on State Street, the Chicago Cultural Center, Jewelers Row and Millennium Park.
Commuters, tourists, trains and traffic — it’s all part of the everyday rhythm of Chicago.
