Train
Kansas City is famous for its Union Station which acted as a major source of transportation during times when trains were run using stem engines. The Union station played a significant role in transporting millions of soldiers and other passengers to and through the station during the World War II. But all that is past in modern times and the Union Station property today is a major attraction in Kansas City with shopping malls and offices of major business houses.
Before being converted into its present state, Union station had to weather several threats of being pulled down after it was rendered redundant for long years. The automobile revolution and the steep increase in air travel acted as the proverbial last nail on Union Station.
