Opened in 1907, it is Amtrak's headquarters and the railroad's second-busiest station, with annual ridership of over 5 million.〔Amtrak National Fact Sheet FY 2013, p. 3〕 The station also serves MARC and VRE commuter rail services, the Washington Metro, and buses. At the height of its traffic, during World War II, as many as 200,000 people passed through in a single day.〔 See Talk for more discussion of this daily traffic number.〕 In 1988, a headhouse wing was added and the original station renovated for use as a shopping mall. Today, Union Station is one of the busiest rail facilities and shopping destinations in the country, and is visited by over 40 million people a year.〔travelandleisure.com (World’s Most-Visited Tourist Attractions ), November 10, 2014 〕 ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Union Station (Washington, D.C.)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
