Building 29 - Union Station  (NH RR New Haven, CT.)

This building is typical of older industrial brick buildings and features single and double hung wooden windows.

Union Station is a combination station, the waiting room, ticket sales, & amenities occupy the

center portion with the arch windows. The top floor and the recessed building wings were used

for RR HQ administrative functions.

The rear waiting room doors were to access two stub platforms serving the commuter trains.

These doors have been removed and drawing Z can be substituted for C. Platforms serving

eight through tracks were reached via an underground passage accessed by the three doors

on the left end. The single door on the right end was used to access inter-city busses from the

New England Transportation Co, a New Haven Subsidiary. The small doorways on the front

and rear of the building accessed stairs and elevators to the administrative areas.

This station is impressive not only for its large, deep set back, arch windows, but for the massive

granite cornices that ring the building's base and top floor. Card stock drawings are available

for you to build the entire building, a flat, of to design the appropriate building for your layout.

One prominent architectural feature of this station is the large granite cornices that surround this building
and its cupola top floor. To aid in you modeling of this building and your other station creations I have created
resin castings of these cornices. Please check our RESIN CASTING pages.
