The history of Union Station which is home for the Science city and more is even more interesting. Beginning 1914, the Union Station was among the busiest railroad stations in the region. During the II World War, the Union Station handled millions of passengers. The facility itself was mammoth in size with 850,000 square feet space and 900 rooms.

Visitor information at Union Station

With the World war long over, and the steam engines having gone out of context, the Union Station was closed down in the 1980s. For more than a decade this bustling station remained idle and neglected, frequently fighting demolition bids. 1999 saw fresh light in the Union Station when it became a completely renovated facility - albeit for a different usage. Today, the Union Station is a city attraction for its heritage architecture, the 95′ ceiling at the Grand Hall and some of the finest restaurants in town.

As in the olden days, you can also catch an Amtrak train at the Union Station when you choose to.
