Projects: Train Stations

I was first interested in train stations because of the architecture. I soon came to realize that they represent much more than a building. Often restored but still used as a train station, or perhaps used for other purposes, they represent both a link to the past and a window to the future. A train station often anchors a renewal project or provides a new use for a historic building.
