"Pennsylvania R.R. Station By Night, Pittsburgh, PA," circa 1916
01
Artifact Overview
Pittsburgh's Union Station, credited to Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, opened in 1901. Despite its name implying a union of multiple railroads, Union Station served only the Pennsylvania Railroad and its subsidiaries. Even so, at its peak the building handled hundreds of long-distance and commuter trains each day. Union Station was restored in 1988 and still hosts Amtrak passenger trains today.
