Salt Lake City Union Station

: Salt Lake City, UT Sep. 15, 2014

I’m representing the Rio Grande remnants we found during our vacation in Utah.

This is one of the Rio Grande original structures remaining along its route in Utah; the station at Salt Lake City.

The station stands on Rio Grande St at the end of Broadway, like the symbol of the city. Unfortunately, however, the flying Rio Grande logo neon sign on the roof was not lit when we visited at 9 pm.

There used to be the Western Pacific neon sign under the Rio Grande sign as you can see in the postcard below. The structure now houses Utah State Historical Society.

ユタ州における元Rio Grande沿線に今も残るRio Grandeの遺物を紹介してきた。最後に示すこの建物は、Rio Grande Stに面して建つ元Salt Lake City駅の駅舎である。施設はWestern Pacificとの共用で、屋根の上にはかつて両鉄道のネオンサインが輝いていた。

そのネオンサインの写真を撮ろうと、夜9時頃行ってみたら点いていなかった。
