One of the biggest disappointments from my trip last May on the SWC heading west was not being able to see this station. I had read and heard a lot about it, but we were four hours down when we arrived at KCUS and the conductor gave me a stern warning not to leave sight of the train as we were departing once everybody was aboard (we were originally supposed to have a 1/2 hour stop here).i have to speak up for my home station... kansas city union station. restored in 1999, and at one time one of the largest and busiest in the country, it's now home to restaurants, museums, and (appropriately) multiple amtrak trains daily. a century-old railroad bridge was moved and is now a pedestrian link to an adjacent neighborhood.
for bustle, i'd also go with chicago. i'm about to embark on my cross-country trip, so i might change my mind on runners-up: portland and LA are on the route!
Guess I'll have to see it next time... B)
