For generations, Union Station has been the enchanting portal to the world. The Walthers Cornerstone Union Station will be the heart of your model railway layout! It was where the best trains on the line started and ended their journeys. Travelers hurried to catch connections, and thousands of commuters began and ended their workdays. In large towns and cities with limited space, multiple railroads often joined forces to build and operate major terminal stations. These stations were not only symbols of the power and success of railroading but also reflected the spirit of the community they served and promised excellent service for train travelers. This Union Station pays homage to the grand terminals that have served railroads for over 100 years.
