Union Terminal

Inside Union Terminal, built in 1933

During World War II, 20,000 rail passengers a day would come through the terminal. The terminal was built to accomodate 216 trains a day, and there is still one Amtrack train stop.

Soaring ceiling, 106 feet high -

And Art Deco.

I used to take my daughters to the Museum of Natural History when it was in another location and remember the cave as being pretty much like it is at Union Terminal. For some reason, I found it scary then, even as an adult. Not so today. Aaron loves it, Nora is still a bit reluctant.
