to describe the protagonist's arrival at columbus station (hope the building you photographed was already there in 1954....)

nice project, yours...rail stations are very evocative, visually!

oh, no....lol

i'm italian and live in trieste, italy----day and a half from columbus by plane! :)

i'm about half-way in my sci-fi story ("memphis to infinity") and, at the moment, the protagonist is stuck back in a weird 1954 in columbus, heading for pittsburgh by a rented car and then to new york by plane----I found your pic particularly useful as i had to describe the protagonist's

very useful, that's just what i was looking for to describe the station in my sci-fi story...thanx! (story takes place in 1954 but i guess things haven't changed that much architecturally)

Glad you got some use out of it. Are you a local author? I'm in the process of publishing a book on the railroad stations of Georgia. I live in Vienna. Hour and a half drive from Columbus.

BTW: i'm still looking for some good pics of NYC back in 1954 (streets, places, interiors, people)in the net but haven't found any so fare...any idea?

thanx!
