The old LaSalle Street station (1903-1980) stood here. It was the terminus of many notable trains, including the 20th Century Limited of the New York Central and the Rock Island's Golden State.

Concourse L,

16 years ago:
Concourse L was constructed in 1982-83 as an addition to the 1962 Terminal 3. Its original occupant was Delta Air Lines, who had previously outgrown its quarters on the end of Concourse H. In the 1980s, Delta had a large operation in Chicago and needed most of the 10 gates. For a while, space was subleased to Britt Airways and other regional airlines. Also, Delta handled departures of certain international airlines such as Lufthansa and Japan Air. Over time, Delta ceded use of several "L" gates to the expanding American Airlines. In 2009, as part of its merger with Northwest Airlines, Delta announced that it would move all operations to Terminal 2, leaving behind its 1980s heirloom concourse.
The innermost gates of Concourse L can accommodate "Group 3" narrowbody aircraft such as the MD-80 and 757. The middle section gates handle "Group 4" widebody aircraft such as the 767 and A310. The outermost gates are capable of "Group 5" aircraft such as the 747, 777 and A340.
ORD Terminal 2,

Terminals 2 and 3 were completed in the 1962 terminal expansion, which allowed almost all Chicago domestic flights to move from Midway Airport to O'Hare. Terminal 2 originally had Concourses D, E and F, with 29 gates that primarily served the airlines United, Northwest, Eastern, Continental, Braniff and Ozark. The "Y" shaped E/F concourse structure originally had a public observation deck on its central roof.
The 1962 building had a single-level frontage roadway. An upper-level departure frontage roadway was added in the late 1960s. Until the first phase of the new Terminal 1 opened in 1989, Terminal 2 was the primary hub for United Airlines, which controlled virtually all gates on Concourses E & F. The terminal is now directly managed by the City of Chicago and a consortium of user airlines headed by Delta (formerly Northwest).
The former Concourse D was a single finger that lay between the Terminal 2 "Y" structure and the now-demolished old Terminal 1 "Y" structure. The finger concourse was removed in 1989-90 to allow completion of the current Terminal 1. Concourse D also housed the original 1955 FAA control tower, which was taken over as the "City Tower" (for International Ramp Control) around 1970 when a new control tower near the Hilton Hotel opened. The original 1955 ORD master plan showed the first tower as the center structure in a smaller "Y" that would have been identical to the one that was part of the original Terminal 1.
In 2009 a major expansion of the T2 landside section is well underway, deepening it toward its frontage roadways and filling in space toward both T1 and T3.

Terminals 2 and 3 were completed in the 1962 terminal expansion, which allowed almost all Chicago domestic flights to move from Midway Airport to O'Hare. Terminal 3 originally had Concourses G, H, and K, with 29 gates that primarily served the airlines American, TWA, Delta, Lake Central, North Central and Trans Canada. The rotunda building, originally a large upscale restaurant, is now occupied by a combination of food concessions and federal agency offices. The "Y" shaped H/K concourse structure originally had a public observation deck on its central roof.
The 1962 building had a single-level frontage roadway. An upper-level departure frontage roadway was added in the late 1960s. A major expansion of T3 occurred in 1983, when the landside terminal section was enlarged eastward by about 30%, and the 10-gate Concourse L was constructed for the use of Delta Air Lines. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, American expanded the H/K concourses. As TWA's services diminished, American took over most gates on Concourse G.
In 2009 a major expansion of the landside section is well underway, deepening it toward its frontage roadways and filling in space between T2 and T3.

Operated by contractor ASIG on behalf of a consortium of O'Hare airlines, this is where large quantities of Jet-A fuel (a kerosene derivative) are safely stored. Its inbound supply is via a pipeline system from area fuel terminals.
