Wonderful photographs

From Back Cover: "Washington (D.C)'s Union Station has come alive again, and in all its glory, as illustrated photographically in a delightful and amusing new book. [It] is a "must" not only for historians, but also for train buffs. And for the hundreds and thousands of people who have come and gone through this beautiful gateway to the Nation's Capital, this book is a nostalgia trip worth re-living." - Keith Kelly, President, Union Station Redevelopment Corp.
