Greater Greater Washington has an article about potential expansion of Union Station in DC and development over the train yard. Union Station is Amtrak's second busiest station--just ahead of 30th St.--although it has far less commuter rail traffic. It has a pretty horrible platform area which smells from the diesel MARC trains but the commercial area inside is nicer than 30th St. station's. It's nice to see that Amtrak is looking at selling development rights and hopefully it will help fund transportation improvements. It might portend future changes over Schuylkill Yards. The plan itself.
