Many years ago I took pictures of this spot with a Burlington
streamliner and a pre-Metra

Now that structure is little more than a cover over the Pedestrian Tunnel to the platform and station on the south side of main 3.
You can't tell it from this shot... but the first and third car from the engine are the same 6-window cars that were in use in 1965.
