[edit] Silver Streak
That's the film! Thank you Anonymous 151.197.206.157. Maybe there's some good to anon. editors after all. Wetman 20:09, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Train Operations
As constructive criticism, this article is loaded with architectural details, but could use some better balance about train operations. I have added some, but it could use more. Vaoverland 18:28, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Union Station Novel
I am pretty sure I remember seeing another novel about Union Station while in the Barnes & Noble on the main floor. I can't remember the author, though, and an Amazon search isn't coming up with much. If anybody knows this novel - it's not the Truman one - could you please fill in the details? Thanks! --Etoile 03:31, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Format
Can anyone integrate the photo with the box so that they are the same width, with the photo at the top of the box, like so many similarly formatted pages? I'm not good at it. --06:14, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Done. This required removing the caption, but it wasn't really necessary anyway. -Etoile 16:09, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- With Firefox they're still side-by-side with white space all about. --Wetman 16:56, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 2005 Food Court Redo in the Current Use?
The food court area was redone in 2005. Could someone find out the exact dates of closure and reopening and put something in the Current Use section about it? (I'm new to wikipedia and can't write up to their standards yet.) C4bl3Fl4m3 00:32, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tunnel
It is worth mentioning that trains coming from, and going to, the south use a tunnel under First Street SE when entering or leaving the station. However, I will leave this to a rail expert to include in the article. BTW, do the freight trains operating on the CSX Capital Division in Maryland also go through (or under) the station, assuming they need to use the First St. tunnel to continue on to Virginia? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Columbus Circle
the Attractive grounds infront of the station are called Columbus Circle, Washington D.C.. I would like to add this, but I am unsure exactly where.--Niro5 21:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] VRE in the Routebox too?
I considered adding VRE trains to the routebox, until I realized that they already exist inUnion Station (Washington Metro). I know there's a good reason not to merge both articles, but if VRE stops here, why not add the lines to the routebox? DanTD 05:13, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] MARC's lack of a station-specific link
Anybody know why MARC doesn't have any station-specific links on their website(including D.C.)? I wanted to hook it up as an external link, but their website only seems to covers the whole railroad. ---- DanTD 14:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Not to be confused with Union Station (LA)
The "Union Station" used in season 6, episode 2 of 24 is the Union Station in Los Angeles, not the one in Washington, D.C. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.187.219.110 (talk) 03:55, 10 April 2007 (UTC).
