Description
A view just after sunset looking upon Union Station in Kansas City.
Kansas City's Union Station is a train depot that opened in 1914. It replaced a small Union Depot from 1878. Union Station served a peak annual passenger traffic of over 670,000 people in 1945 at the end of World War II, quickly declining in the 1950s and was subsequently closed in 1985.
In 1996, a public/private partnership began funding Union Station's $250 million restoration. By 1999, the station reopened as a series of museums and other public attractions. In 2002, Union Station saw its return as a train station when Amtrak began providing public transportation services and has since become Missouri's second-busiest train station. As of 2010, the refurbished station boasts theaters, ongoing museum exhibits, and attractions such as the Science City at Union Station, the Irish Museum and Cultural Center, and the Todd Bolender Center for Dance and Creativity.
