I think it is a lot better than the blue building...definitely.
My (first) thought though is that it has a look of the buildings around
union station. An older-type building which has had to be accommodating to
rail traffic.
If you really wanted to analyze about it....how much work could you do if
trains (especially commuter trains) ran one floor below you....even if it
didn't blare its horn.
On the other hand, if the train was totally electric, it might reduce the
noise coming from the train, even so, having the train pass by, might be
distracting for the employees in the building. I know if I worked over a
passing train, I might stop what I was doing and watch it go by.
