The PRR's Suburban Station which was located beneath their headquarter's building was loaded with art deco decoration. Some of it still exists as SEPTA's Penn Center Station.<br> blevin@engr.psu.edu |

Central Terminal in Buffalo is similar to Cincy; slightly earlier and there's an office tower instead of a rotunda. <br> |

Union Pacific's Union Station in Omaha is art deco. Burlington Station, just across the tracks was Greek Revival, but after 1930 it became a neo-classical structure.<br> hrrhs@aol.com |

Its been a while since I have seen it, but the Union Station in South Bend IN stands out in my memory as being somewhat art Deco. I know Indy's isn't art deco, but it is one of the most beutiful stations there is with its cathedral stained glass waiting room and 20 some odd elevated train shed.<br> |
