Union Station, Chicago

Union Station, Chicago is one of the most beautiful station I have seen. It’s located in downtown Chicago. Built in 1881, it was rebuilt in 1925. it’s fourth busiest railway station in USA. It was designed by famous Architects. It has platforms and a waiting hall which is grand and so beautiful. It has two statues by Henry Hering —Night and Day — look down on passengers, symbolizing the 24-hour operation of the railroads. The statue Night holds an owl, while Day holds a rooster. Construction was delayed several times by World War I, labor shortages and strikes. The construction of the station also involved the demolition and relocation of some previously existing buildings such as the Butler Brothers Warehouse along the Chicago River #chicago #union #railway #columbus #usa
