Tickets Please
This is the Great Hall inside Union Station which I showed you the outside yesterday. This is the ticket hallway and it is 250 ft long by 88 ft tall at its highest point. It is a spectacular space to enter and brings back the image of the old elegant days of rail travel.

I wish I could say we still had these where I live! They have refurbished many like in St. Louis, Mo. it certainly is a grand way to travel!
What a lovely surprise Pat, so gorgeous inside. Would be a real pleasure to catch a train from here.
the roof looks like a honeycomb. :) or a waffle. :)
i have not been there in years. gorgeous surroundings. ( :
So welcoming! Our railways stations are usually grand, but quite dirty...
Union Station has to be the most popular name for a RR station in the world, or close. Does every city have one?
Magnificent!
What a grand hall. I love these places!
so spacious and great
The Great Hall is beautiful inside; I've always appreciated the architecture in there.
Beautiful interiors. It has the same style as the train station in Montreal I imagine.
Gorgeous. Almost like a palace! :-)
It the "old days" my mother took me on the train to Port Elgin for our summer vacation. Go figure... the tracks don't even go there any more. It is still a Grand Old Station.
Looks more or less like it always did - very grand!
Looks very much like our own Union Station here in D.C.
It is beautiful, RedPat. It has elements of Washington's Union Station and New York's Grand Central Station.
I always loved walking through Union Station. So much to see there and it's so grand!
PS: Is the $27 fare from the airport one way? A cab is around $60 to town... if there are two of you, it's hardly worth it to take the train.
It's a magical place! Whenever I've been there I've felt an enormous sense of awe.
Hear the echo!
