I just returned from another business trip to Cincinnati. Each time I've been there, I've stopped by Union Terminal, which encompasses many of my favorite things - Architecture, railroad stations, history, and Art Deco design.
Originally built in 1933 as the Union Terminal train station, the building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977. Union Terminal stands on a prominent location one mile northwest of the city center. Visitors approach the 10-story, arched, limestone and glass facade of the building from the east through a quarter-mile plaza. The dome is flanked on either side by curving wings. An illuminated fountain, cascade and pool lie in the foreground center. On either side of the main doors, Maxfield Keck's bas-relief figures symbolize Commerce and Transportation. In the late 1980s, the building was renovated and then reopened as Cincinnati Museum Center in 1990. It was recently named one of the top 50 architecturally significant buildings in America by the American Institute of Architects.
I've just scanned a batch of Roger Puta's Illinois Terminal Company slides he took during his undergraduate studies at University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana.
I wish I had been with Roger that night but we went to different colleges and only got to railfan together during college breaks.

Even though the trackage is ex-Southern, the Illinois Terminal Heritage unit looks right at home in the middle of the Heritage RR's namesake state. Without knowing any better, this scene could be from some small town between Bloomington and Decatur or somewhere between DeLong and Danville on a hot sweltery summer day. This image really is not much different than several others I captured in my youth during the late 70s/early 80s of "the OP" as the kids today would refer to it.
In actuality, NS train 168 has just gotten all the authorities needed to pass through Centralia, IL on its way west to Luther Yard in St. Louis.

GMTX 2144 resting at Four Rivers Terminal in between trains. Four Rivers Terminal was built in 2015 by Southern Coal Handling (SCH) to transload coal from trains to barges on the Ohio River. The wye and spur sit off the Paducah and Illinois Railroad, however CN, BNSF, PAL, and UP all have access. SCH owns the bigger (and much busier) Calvert City Terminal just up the river, but FRT does not have blending capabilities like CCT does. FRT dumps trains from BNSF (Powder River Basin coal) and PAL (from Warrior in Madisonville). FRT also unloads boxcars dropped off by the BNSF local. It looks like the 2144 was moving around a bad order hopper today.

As the glacier expands, rock and gravel is pushed up and then deposited when the glacier recedes. These are called moraines. They can be huge as seen in Greenland and Glacier NP

Amtrak's specially painted Washington Terminal switcher shoves an Amfleet north to be wyed at Ivy City. At one point, all of the passenger coaches in and out of DC were switched out by switchers painted for Washington Terminal, which was owned jointly by the PRR and B&O. Today, Amtrak switchers handle this switching, but this engine was a nice tribute. The move is passing underneath a signal bridge full of dwarf CPLs, one of several such signal bridges on the Washington Terminal.

The correct name is Grand Central Terminal (not Grand Central Station, which is the name of the U.S. Post Office station on Lexington Avenue).
Outside, above the main entrance, the clock is quite a piece of work, embedded in a sculpture where the Roman god Mercury is the main figure, but he's not alone: Minerva and Hercules are there to keep him company. French sculptor Jules-Félix Coutan was commissioned to create this statue that goes by a few names: Glory of Commerce, Progress with Mental and Physical Force, and even simply Transportation. Anyway, you can learn all about it here. It's a good read :)
O nome correcto é Grand Central Terminal (e não Grand Central Station, que é o nome da estação dos Correios dos EUA na Lexington Avenue).
No exterior, por cima da entrada principal, o relógio é uma obra de arte, incrustado numa escultura onde o deus romano Mercúrio é a figura principal, mas que não está sozinho: Minerva e Hércules também lá estão para lhe fazerem companhia. O escultor francês Jules-Félix Coutan foi contratado para criar esta estátua que tem vários nomes: Glória do Comércio, Progresso com Força Mental e Física, e até simplesmente Transporte. De qualquer forma, pode ficar a saber tudo sobre esta escultura aqui. É uma leitura interessante :)

If you have some time to spare and don't want to use the tram, there are ways to get to the other terminals too in DFW. I find the moving sidewalks a little awkward with their softness when you first step on though.
This photo was taken five years after The Terminal was last used; it took another two years for The Terminal to be completely demolished in 2010.

Some 20 km further on, the Westerschelde tunnel opened for traffic on 14 March 2003. Since then the ferry service between Vlissingen and Breskens operates only for pedestrians and bicycles/scooters. The journey across by ferry takes about 20 minutes.
Motor vehicles of course now use the Westerschelde tunnel between Terneuzen and Ellewoutsdijk

CP Jct at the south end of Madison Yard was the place to be on this day. TRRA had 4 jobs working with 3 of them jammed up in one spot. On the left, TRRA 101 Job had backed down from the north and is tucked out of the way on the Eads Main. TRRA 309 is the south end Trim Job and busy working the bowl. TRRA 4002 has a 201 job and departing with 10,000' plus of traffic for the A&S.

My description of terminal makes it sound a bit grander than it really is. Probably more like a landing stage. Nonetheless a crossing to Knott End has existed since 1841 with this format of the service starting in the 1890's.
During our stay in New Haven we went to New York on one of the weekends, where we took the Metro North to the Grand Central Terminal which is a really beautiful building. Besides some long exposures I also tried other compositions, where this clock caught my eye as it is one of the characteristics of this train station's main hall.
