Talk:Indianapolis Union Station

message: I have started this.  I'd love your opinion of it, Slambo. --Bedford 02:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Great start.  I've gone through with a quick copyedit, I'm sure I've got some more historical information around here somewhere.  I visited the facility in the 1970s as a child, but don't remember very much about my visit then.  Slambo (Speak) 11:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I am only adding this in the hope someday someone with more info and energy can expand on it. The article states "A planned pedestrian bridge between these two structures was denied by officials for historic preservation reasons" following the "1995 opening of the Circle Centre Mall".  The renovation in 1984 yielded a beautifully restored train station, containing an enormous retail complex; the restored station was absolutely breathtaking, pictures cannot do it justice.  The Circle Centre Mall however was created by the city of Indy plus Simon Property Group and other powers-that-be, who did not want any competition from Union Station. So that's why the skywalk was nixed, it had nothing to do with historical preservation but rather was killed by city leaders and the Simons.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6033:2C:6D4C:4596:2683:EBA7 (talk) 21:00, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

message: "As to the actual train service in today's Indianapolis, it is very limited. Several Amtrak trains a week to Washington, DC, and Chicago (Cardinal and Hoosier State) stop at the small train station, combined with the Greyhound bus station, next block from Union Station."
You call this a small station?

Perhaps Amtrak stops in a portion of Union Station, but it's going to take more to convince me that they aren't one in the same. ---- DanTD 13:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on what exactly is meant by "Union Station". Most people probably consider the red brick Romanesque headhouse to be the station and don't really think about the train shed. The current railroad/bus station is not in the headhouse, but rather is below the south side of the elevated tracks (the headhouse is north of the tracks). I'm not even sure whether the train is boarded in the historic train shed, or on the uncovered tracks that were immediately south of the train shed. Indyguy (talk) 03:37, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Union Station & Amtrak revisited 

message: Given the prominence of the clock tower to the architecture, I wonder if it would be possible for someone to add a recent photo of it. Also, it would be great to have a detail photo of one of the bartizans (the little turrets at the corners of the various sections), and perhaps one of the big rose window as well. Thanks!
