I do love to visit train stations, especially those with grand architecture like these old historic Union Stations.

But this one in St. Louis tops them all. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182514406679767737.post-79163631819354811862009-10-07T11:16:04.907-04:002009-10-07T11:16:04.907-04:00What a beautiful, majestic building.
