Washington Union Station

August 20, 2009 By Anthony Washington

The arrival and departure electronic board at Washington Union Station in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, August 18, 2009. The board is the first thing visitors see as they enter through the stations main entrance off of Massachusetts Ave.

More than 32 million visitors pass through the station every year, this includes subway and rail passengers, shoppers and diners.

Every weekday, over 200 Amtrak trains arrive and depart from Union Station. Making it the second busiest Amtrak station in the United States.

Ever since I borrowed a camera from a friend of mine eight years ago, I have loved sharing what I see through the lens of my camera with the world. There is nothing better than making somebody feel like they were right there with you. A brief moment in time, by way of photography, can say so much. I hope that these brief moments in time point people in the direction of someplace, something, or someone that they may not be aware of, and that they are curious enough to go see for themselves.
