Abandoned Station

The Abandoned Station is a landmark in Dockland, Illinois.

History
This incomplete train station was the infamous setting of a blood-soaked shootout between the Dockland South Club and law enforcement on September 3rd, 1955. Three police officers were brutally gunned down on the station's platform, while five Club members escaped unharmed. This shootout became so romanticized, it inspired copycat murders in and around the unfinished station. As a result, work was soon abandoned
