I figure most are beginning to travel. Thought I give a pictorial look at what Union Station looks like right now.

Lower level-

Food level. I did miss a picture of the Starbucks, open and busy by 5:30a.

Great hall and locked lounge door.

Why were you there so early in the morning?

I was taking the first Lincoln Service this morning.

Thanks, good to see some decent fast food. Three of our favorites: DD, Jersey Mike's, and ChicFilA - especially their market salad that might be an option to the flex meal if connecting to an LD eastbound train.

I was in Union Station/Chicago on 26Oct. I took the Lake Shore Limited home. The only two places that were open in the station at 8p were the bar and McDonalds. The second floor of the Metropolitan Club was closed, too. They only staff the bar there until 5p. The Walgreens on the other side of the river and Jackson closed at 6p.

Thanks for your photos. Hopefully things are getting back to normal.

Thanks for the pics. I love CUS but since I'm west coast boy I don't get there often enough. Hope to see it in March, barring bad virus news.

Great pics! Makes me miss CUS.

Note that at times the main entrance to the lounge is locked, but that you can enter through the entrance across from the Amtrak ticket counter.

The 2nd floor of the lounge is cool. If you are a steam or PRR fan, be sure to check out this picture
