Thank you for the compliment! Miniland is IMO the highest standard of
detailed construction, although they get to use things we mortals could
never get our hands on, even with BrickLink. (like several hundred of those
4 scoop white ice cream pieces that they used as corner ornamentation in one
of their San Fransisco buildings).

Your recollection is right on. Union Station sits across the street from
Crown Center and the Liberty Memorial and hill (the only WWI memorial in
America). We passed a bi-state tax in the late 90's to convert part of the
North Wing and some of the former train track area into a Science City with
a 3D IMAX. The main area of the Station has been unchanged, and the interior
restored to like new condition.

Thanks again. I hope to get tracks and a Super Chief into the model some
day, since the real Super Chief actually passed through Union Station.
