Celebrating 125 Years of Nashville's Union Station

Learn more about our efforts to preserve and celebrate Nashville's history here: https://www.nashvillesteam.org/ Join Joey Bryan of Nashville Steam for a captivating walk through Nashville’s iconic Union Station — a masterpiece of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture and one of the city’s most important railroad landmarks. Once the grand gateway to the “Athens of the South,” this 1900 terminal welcomed travelers aboard legendary trains like the Dixie Flyer, Pan-American, and The Hummingbird. Discover how Major Eugene Lewis and the Louisville & Nashville Railroad built a palace of stone and steel, complete with a 200-foot clock tower and intricate sculptures celebrating Tennessee’s spirit. Learn how a group of citizens later saved this historic treasure during the 1970s “Save Our Station” movement, transforming it into the boutique hotel we know today. From Franklin D. Roosevelt to Al Capone, from steam locomotive No. 576 to the rebirth of downtown Nashville — this is the story of how Union Station connects the city’s past and future. 🎥 Produced by: Nashville Steam, ‪@fmwsolutions‬
