Union Station Series IV
The California Zephyr, ready for boarding and Eastward-bound, sits on a track alongside the Union Station in Denver Colorado. With a familiar orange “Union Station, Travel by Train” sign on both the railyard and public entrance sides advertising its primary purpose, the great hall, which was built in 1914, still functions as ticketing and check-in location for Amtrak. The site is now owned by RTD Denver, and it underwent a complete renovation in 2012 (about five years after this photo was made) as a transit oriented center for buses, light rail, and passenger trains. The remodeled Union Station complex also hosts a hotel, restaurants, and retailers serving both travelers and the general public.
