Theme Day: Union Station

Union Station is the main train and bus station serving Hartford. The building dates to the 1880s; it underwent a substantial renovation 20 years ago. Along the way, it was given a huge and colorful tile mural by the late artist Cleve Gray. The mural is 686 feet long . . . you see only a part.

The November theme for daily photo blogs is "public transportation."
