Happy Birthday, Union Station!
VIA Rail's Union Station in downtown Winnipeg is 100 years old. I'm a little late with this, because the first train arrived at the station on August 7, 1911. Its official opening was June 24, 1912 so there is a bit of time before the "real" opening.
I'm embarrassed to say that I don't have a good external shot of the station, so these interior shots I took today will have to do for now.
Check out the coverage on One Man Committee's blog as well as the Winnipeg Free Press.

Thank you very much for the mention! I'm the son of a retired VIA employee, so Union Station is really a sentimental favourite of mine.
My pleasure - it was a great post.
