Ann, it still is a station, sorta. Amtrak is in the basement, a small waiting room and ticket counter near the tracks. The main building is now a Science Museum, a nice restaurant and then some restaurant spaces that host a series of failing entrepreneurs who haven't figured out that sales volume is important. 'Tis a beautiful space that has outlived its purpose. When Meg was serving in Jeff City 10-12 years ago, she would come home by train Thursday or Friday nights, I would meet her at the train, we'd have a late dinner there . . . good times.
