Re: Monday Train Blogging: Railway Cathedrals (4.00 / 3)

Union Stations in the US

Chicago

Kansas City, Missouri (which surprised me a little that it was so majestic)

and Portland, Oregon (I like the 'go by train' on the clock tower)

And for a European station that I like - Helsinki's Central Station.

These are the stairs inside Chicago's Union Station, made famous by the baby carriage scene in the film, "The Untouchables."
