Great photo capturing a less-than-beautiful location.

But it had soul. And the Grand Trunk, and the EL and the Santa Fe.

And Wabash. And C&EI.

And NKP

NKP used La Salle St station along with CRIP & NYC.

Not NKP.  The Nickel Plate used LaSalle Street Station and the New York Central's rails to a point just east of Englewood where they accessed their own rails.

That location was known as JN Tower, near 71st and Cottage Grove.
The leads for Englewood Yard began at the west end of the plant.

As for Dearborn Station, don't forget the Chicago & Western Indiana.
