Train Station - Simon Ott


This is Union Station in St. Louis, Mo.  During my visit there I had a day to spend walking the downtown.  I estimate I walked about 60 blocks that day up and down the city streets admiring the architecture.  Of the many wonderful buildings I was certianly impressed by the Union Station.  A bit of searching and I found out it was built in 1894 and originally featured a gold-leafed Grand Hall.  At one point it serviced the most railroads in the world handling 100,000 passengers a day.
