If you were at the Chicago and North & Western Terminal a tad later than '81; you might have caught my lemming like trips from/to Geneva (IL) on the West Line.
The head house was razed/replaced in '84. The replacement is definitely NOT commuter friendly, despite a "food court". Believe the old Bush train shed/suburban concourse remain pretty much intact. See here ---> History for more.
