Kansas City pics...Union Station...

The highlight of Union Station...the Freight House Bridge...a pedestrian bridge right over the railroad tracks.
Noah patiently tolerated his brother's train obsession. Those whistles were L-O-U-D. I remember a day when we could have NEVER spent any time in a spot that loud...Noah would have freaked. Now, he just covered his ears and went with it.

Shots from inside the station. Originally built in 1914, the station was closed in 1983 and fell into decay. The city mounted a huge restoration campaign, and reopened the station in 1999. I love stuff like this...


There was a model train display in the lobby...
It don't get any better than this for a little rail fan...
