- Living St. Louis producer Anne-Marie Berger looks at the history of Union Station. At its peak during World War II, Union Station was a central transportation hub for the country. Over 2 million soldiers traveled through the station monthly. Today, it is a tourist attraction and an area of commerce.
Thankfully the people of St. Louis had the foresight to preserve much of this wonderful station complex for future generations to admire and enjoy.
the train shed at st Louis union station was & is still the largest unsupported train shed in the world
I was a child during the war years and had occasion to visit Union Station many times then. Th crowds were amazing!
I visited this great station in the mid-1950s to mid-1960s. I was a busy place then. Wonderful meals at the Fred Harvey restaurant. What a tragedy it is to see it today.
I'd love to have tagged along with you then.
Modern American culture is about the suburbs and more space. In my experience, awesome train stations are now found outside of America
I must say,st.louis Union station is one of the most beautiful train stations in the world!! I remember going there as a child in the 60s.I hate st.louis!! but that is one beautiful station!!
Watching this on the bus as literally we pull up into Civi Center (station they showed being constructed at the beginning of this video) while I can see Union Station in the background. Lol
thanks for this beautifully crafted ,awesome taste of history
Great Story !!
I've been the old and the new one so pretty and amazing
Who would have ever thought that a train station would have to make way for a highway.
The forcing of change.
I remember when that station was built.
A past life perhaps?
