Description
The first train pulled into St. Louis Union Station on September 2, 1894 and the city known for being the gateway to the West suddenly became a gateway to all of America. This Union Station would soon become one of the largest and busiest passenger rail terminals in the world.
The station saw some of its highest traffic during the World’s Fair of 1904 and World War II. Travelers moved in droves through the station, with a regular day’s capacity at more than 100,000 people was normal.
The St. Louis Union Station in St. Louis, Missouri is a National Historic Landmark.
