GREAT blog, I could picture the whole thing...Dude! GREAT blog, I could picture the whole thing, even w/o the pics. And I LOVE trains!! I've got 16 complete model trains, all passengers, in HO scale, from the heavy weight steam era UP Overland, through classic streamlined era and even the current Napa Valley Wine Train and American Orient Express. Did you know that Union Station is original Spanish style Art Deco architecture, built between 1934-1939? Before planes, EVERYbody rode trains, pretty much everyWHERE! And Union Stations meant that all railroads could use it, like, as opposed to using a Southern Pacific station to board a SP line, etc. ...and now that you know how big of a GEEK I am, I'll close w/ I enjoyed your story!Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610171646022925982noreply@blogger.com
