Chicago Union Station is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 3 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

“The movie was filmed on the Universal Studios backlot, with a few small scenes shot in Wheeling, West Virginia, some scenes filmed at the Santa Monica pier's carousel, in Southern California, and in Chicago at Union Station and the former LaSalle Street Station.”

Named here by Chicago Union Station’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Chicago Union Station, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it.
