Summary[edit]

Description

After falling into disrepair in the late 1970s, Congress called upon then-Secretary of Transportation Elizabeth Dole who worked with then Amtrak president, W. Graham Claytor, Jr., to develop a plan to restore the station to its former glory. Through a public/private partnership, the station was completely renovated and re-opened to much fanfare on September 29, 1988. Since that day Union Station has grown to become the most-visited destination in Washington, DC and has become a model for the re-development of historic train stations across the country.
