Chicago Union Station
In the story · The station shootout (the baby carriage)
The climax. Ness and George Stone, a young police recruit and sharp shot (Andy Garcia), wait on the station stairs to seize Capone's bookkeeper. A mother struggles up the steps with a baby carriage, the shooting starts, and the carriage rolls down the stairs in slow motion. Both staircases of the Great Hall were used.
