Road Trip – Kansas City

IMG_6567

Kansas City’s grand and restored Union Station. Reminds me of a childhood trip to the east cost in the mid 1960’s  when I was a kid. We went by train from Utah to Chicago to New York City and on to New London, Connecticut. I still remember the huge train stations packed with people waiting for their trains to leave.  Little did I know that I was witnessing the tail end of an era.

A few minutes today at Union Stations brought back a lot of memories.

    What a wonderful piece of architecture. I really need to visit. I’ve been to the St. Louis station, both when it was operational (mid-sixties) and after renovation. I spent a lot of hours in the Tulsa Union Depot as a child, and loved it. Indeed, these buildings are reminders of just how important the railroads were in the history of this country. Thanks for sharing.
