Yes, Metra trains use a facility named "LaSalle Street Station." However, it is a newer, smaller and less interesting station than the one in place when those photos were taken. That station was razed in 1981. One can catch a few glimpses of the earlier LaSalle Street station in Alfred Hitchcock's classic movie "North By Northwest."
