TonyJ any pics pre-280?

I don't find it gloomy at all. I like the below grade feel of the place with the afternoon sun slanting in. The columns add a particular feel to it, makes it feel almost like a church. And it's pretty empty too. It feels a little parklike, too, if you can believe it.

Also, there are train meets here during the commute

Then you have ports of tunnels 1 and 2 at either end of the station and these old steel bridges. It's a neat place.

Having said all that, you have to keep your head on a swivel.
