Summary

Description
English: Union Station, a train station serving the greater Washington, D.C. area with services from Amtrak, MARC, Virginia Railway Express, and the Washington Metro. Following World War II, the station began to degrade until it was renovated for the bicentennial of the United States, becoming the National Visitor Center. It lacked popularity and eventually many of the updates (especially "the Pit") were closed. A complete redesign opened in 1988, offering Union Station as a mall/train station combination, complete with a movie theater, shops, and an extensive food court.
Deutsch: Union Station, der Sitz von Amtrak
