Snapped this one – quickly – as I ran for the MARC train on my way out of town this weekend! Union Station is pretty neat because it is a beautiful building but also a functioning train station, with Amtrac trains leaving all the time. I came in on the metro and then caught the commuter train up to the Baltimore airport – not the quickest way to go, but relatively cheap, which is nice.
Union Station opened in 1907, and while train travel has decreased since WWII, Union Station is still a hub for shopping and tourism – about 20 million people visit the station each year.
