Robert E. Lee Visits Union Station













Robert E. Lee and Natalie visited the Union Station in St. Louis, Missouri. The total round trip from Wham to Natalie's house and to St. Louis was 362 miles. The Union Station first opened in 1894 as the train station in St. Louis. The Union Station was the busiest and biggest train station of its time throughout the world. This is where many soldiers left their families to go to war in the years to come. One interesting part of the Union Station that Robert E. Lee and Natalie visited was the whispering arch, which is where two people stand on opposite walls and talk to the wall. The other person will be able to hear what the other person has said on the opposite side of the room, the sound travels through an arch that goes across the room. Robert E. Lee and Natalie also saw some old trains and equipment from the time when the station was actually functioning. Robert E. Lee and Natalie had an awesome time visiting the Union Station. Now Robert E. Lee has traveled a total of 1921.76 miles. Wow Robert E. Lee!
