Union Station

[Guest_Gingee]

We were in St. Louis yesterday at the Union Station mall. Of course they don't have the big waiting station there but we saw some trains on the track and they seemed to be running. I could only see in one window and it was a sleeping berth. There was somebody's clothes on a chair. I couldn't tell if these trains are still in use. It did have some nice brown wood in this room. Does anyone know if the Union Station is still running?

Thanks

Gingee,

Those are Privately Owned Rail Cars Amtrak uses the small Station across the Strett.

There are also a bunch of cars out back of the big Union Station that are for a dinner train that runs from St Louis. If you go out where the Hard Rock Cafe is, you can see them, and even walk over to them.

Yeah I saw that train too when I was visiting Saint Louis Union Station. The train is operated by Rail Cruise America. There are pictures of it on Railpictures.net. I saw this train in operation on the 4th of July.

Thanks. We did walk over there and I guess that would have the dinner train.
