JOLIET
UNION STATION
Joliet Union Station is a notable Chicago-area railroad landmark, as well as one of the area's busiest passenger stations and railroad junctions. Located approximately 35 miles southwest of Chicago in the county seat of Will County, the station is also a popular location to watch and photograph trains. As
the railroads came to Joliet in the second half of the 19th century, a web of
tracks and separate facilities provided a frustrating and dangerous situation
for the railroads and the citizens of Joliet. At the insistence of the city, the
tracks in downtown Joliet were realigned and elevated from 1908-1910.
