That is indeed the Prudential building. I remember it being built when I was in second grade. It was a big deal for the city at the time, as few new buildings had been built since WWII.
Thank you for putting this video on YouTube. It brought back some memories for me. I grew up on the south side of Chicago and rode both the Illinois Central commuter trains and the South Shore trains many times with my parents when I was a boy. Now I live in Arkansas where there are no commuter trains
Great stuff. I cannot get enough of South Shore trains and the Ill Central, the OLD but long gone cars.

Near the beginning, it shows a steel frame for a building, which I believe was the Prudential Building.
