Railfanning the Kansas City Area Part Two

From November 5th - 9th, 2020, I was in Kansas City on vacation.  On Sunday, November 8th, I finished Railfanning the Kansas City Area.  First, I saw the KC Streetcar near the Kansas City Union Station.  Then I headed to the National WWI Museum and Memorial Park to photograph the Kansas City Union Station.  After leaving the park I headed back to Santa Fe JCT. one last time.

The Kansas City Union Station opened on 1914.  In 1985,  Kansas City Union Station closed and Amtrak moved to a smaller building nearby.  In 1996, the Kansas City Union Station was renovated and reopened.  A few years later (2002), Amtrak even moved back inside Kansas City Union Station.
