THERE IS A NORTHWESTERN CONNECTION

The tradition of Willie the Wildcat was established in 1924 when Wallace Abbey of the Chicago Tribune wrote, "The Northwestern team fought like wildcats yesterday..." The name so expressed the fighting spirit of the team that the name "Wildcats" was officially adopted as the University's athletic nickname.

WHO WAS WALLY ABBEY?

Wallace W. “Wally” Abbey (1927-2014) belongs to a rare species of railroad photographers: those who have a full understanding of all aspects of railroading, coupled with the knowledge of how to present visual ideas in a manner that excites the railroad community and the general public alike.

AN ART DECO MASTERPIECE

The Cincinnati Union Terminal was begun in 1930 and completed in 1933.

The terminal, with its associated buildings, with its twenty-one associated buildings, bridges, viaducts, and walkways was indeed built in a coordinated Art Deco style. The project was so massive that it can be compared only to the largest projects of the 1930s – Hoover Dam, Golden Gate Bridge, and Rockefeller Center.

DID IT WORK?

“His article on the Terminal was especially memorable; legions of talented photographers flocked there in the early 1950s to record the Art Deco passenger-train mecca. But Abbey’s photographs were definitive.”

But look again at this scene of the James Whitcomb Riley boarding on track 4, for it contains a rare, a mysterious, almost an other-world quality. The redcap turns and looks back up the ramp with a look of mixed acceptance and pain on his face … the young woman turns too, and her expression is more than simple curiosity … and the train and its passengers and crew appear to vanish into the mist in the distance.

Do these people somehow sense they’re almost beyond time and into history, even as the shutter is snapped? We know not. We do know that Wally Abbey took an uncommon photo as the clock ticked toward 8:30 a.m. on that day in September 1952.
