Union Station
Washington, DC--This is probably one of the most beautiful train stations in the United States. Union Station opened in 1907. "Considered to be one of the finest examples of the Beaux-Arts style of architecture. Architect, Daniel Burnham designed the building to be monumental in every respect and to serve as a gateway for the capital city." The building has a wonderful story of survival and it is amazing to see it nowadays after undergoing a great renovation in 1988. It serves not only as a train station but also as a museum and a shopping mall with many restaurants, shops and movie theaters. It is connected to the city by subway.

Wonderful hall, more a museum than a train station. It's nice that it has been so well restored, because it really deserves any possible attention.
