Nice shots. 2nd is at east end of Station and under the Mulberry Street Bridge. Like the view from train at the Curve. Thanks for sharing. Ben

1st photo is so depressing. Well, I guess you could say that at least the train is running and the station wasn't torn down. But don't confuse pleasure with the absence of pain.

Neat trio. Those ex-PRR E8s sure hung in well past their prime. Many miles on those locomotives.

Union Station in St Louis was a disturbing sight when I first visited in 1978. The train shed appeared ready to fall down at any moment.

Thanks for sharing.
