St. Paul native visits Neo Classic Landmark

Green Line makes the turn into downtown.

Majestic limestone columns supporting the north facade of the restored Union Depot dwarfed a visitor checking out the neo-classic St. Paul landmark. Inside, a massive waiting room awaits future travelers, not much going on now, quite peaceful in fact. Optimists believe this room will again become a busy hub for the city's mass transportation links.
In the meantime, visitors can enjoy restored terra cotta in the Head House, collections of relics from the Steel Age, a colorful glass wall in tribute to St. Paul and handmade artifacts from a bygone era.

Railroad tracks running coast to coast are laid beneath this bench. Once in a while, Amtrak rumbles through.
