Union Station: photos
This is definitely one of the prettiest train stations I've seen in the United States. Readers of this blog know I'm not one of those "America rules!" type dittoheads, but I think we do train stations well in this country.
Plenty of light, nice design, and a cavernous waiting room that's in full view of the schedule.
Okay, just the once: America rules!
Union Station's waiting room
The paint and woodwork that adorns the vaulted ceilings evokes the Alhambra, at least for me.
A courtyard with a fountain in the far distance.
Some restoration is in order, but Union Station is holding up pretty well.
Inlaid floors, plenty of light, eight-pointed stars... definitely Moorish.
