old dearborn station survived the chicago fire. the clock tower was seen many blocks away, and helped the loop tell time. It was the main station for all trains going to & from california; major hollywood stars were often seen. now it’s filled with lofts, condos, & apartments, shops & restaurants.

 

union station, washington, district of columbia. all train stations serving the nation’s capital united here in 1907. renovated several times, it currently includes shops & restaurants, and is a hub for all area mass transit systems.
