Let’s not forget that USA used to be a leading nation in rail travel. They are actually still doing quite well when it comes to cargo transport, but not great at passenger rail of course..
At how the Chicago train station? I don’t get it, I think it’s missing a word there. Also, none of the stations I’ve seen in Europe were very impressive, especially France, Germany, and Poland. Ukraine has a few nice looking ones. French stations are just covered in pigeon poop. German stations seemed dirty. And Polish stations,well… looked like a train station.
That station is also a beautiful one, no need to make comparisons
Train stations started being built in the 19th century, it’s not like we have unique Gothic stations from the middle age in Europe. There are some beautiful ones and many ugly ones on both sides of the Atlantic.
We destroyed our nicest train station in 1963 but Chicago’s is pretty nice too
Americans building size is something else. never realized until ive been there.
It looks really nice, let him be proud of it.
Geez, look at Hamburg Central, the most used train Station in Europe.
Chicago is a well kept palace compared to Hamburg
Most train stations in Europe are basically shacks though.
I’m amazed that no one has mentioned grand central. Even Denver has a union pacific station that is gorgeous. They just get used for different purposes then long haul trains now.
Size of arches and height of the ceiling screams USA though

If he saw Antwerpen Centraal he would be shitting bricks
i could post a picture of some train stations around northern germany, but mostly they’re only a platform and maybe a ticketing machine ^^

>A friend of mine is amazed at how the Chicago train station.
Seeing trains in use in the US must indeed be impressive.
To be honest, this would also be considered one of the nicer ones on Europe.

Hey now, no need to compare it like that.
This is objectively a very nice station tho.

Chcago is nice, same for Grand Central in NYC – it’s impressive. But what is really stunning is a railway station in a small city of [Przemyśl](https://culture.pl/en/article/tradition-modernity-in-harmony-transformations-of-polish-railway-stations) in south-east Poland.

It’s not a competition… Let’s appreciate this beautiful architecture without one-upping each other.
Many a great movie has been filmed in there
Antwerp railway station is my personal favorite.
I’m also amazed at how the Chicago train station. It’s just so. And especially.
I mean that’s a nice station though
Two things can be nice.
