I saw the gallery over there and I was sorta confused. Is this not used by Union Station any more? Because it looked abandoned in the pictures.

the powerhouse has not been used for many years. i guess that originally it supplied steam and electricity for the train station. all of the boilers are gone now.

Yeah the building's still in the same spot, but the redevelopment was completed a few years ago. It's in use now.

Such a shame, this was one of my first places I ever explored back in 2006.

Not everything is turned into a parking lot... sometimes they leave it as a vacant grassy lot. :|
