Everyone who thinks about trains—wait, that's not redundant? doesn't everyone think about trains?—has a favorite train station. New Yorkers cannot imagine any train station other than Grand Central, and what's not to love? I have a real fondness for the modernity of Denver and Los Angeles. But my heart belongs to Chicago's Union Station. It's a classic, and of course, Chicago is where I went to school. And then there is that scene in Costner's Untouchables—you say "ridiculous," I say nerve-wracking—that reveals Union Station for the masterpiece it is.
