Additional Details:
The steel train sheds at the new Union Station are 1400 feet long and cover an area of 430,000 square feet. They afford space for thirty-two trains at one time. All of the train tracks are on a level below the waiting rooms. Elevators and stairs lead from the main portion of the station to the trains below. This view was made from the Main Street viaduct which leads street railway and vehicle traffic directly over the train sheds. The station buildings cost six million dollars; the entire Kansas City Terminal project approximately fifty million dollars. The Station was opened in 1914.
