I think I was more because it was so big/ we only went on trains when going to the city so there were a ton of people and I was a kid so it was overwhelming. Now the public transportation where I live is terrible so I don't get to go on them often :(
One time I was trying to get somewhere on the north side of Chicago and I couldn't figure out how to transfer lines at this big, empty station underground in the middle of the night. The guy working the booth said he couldn't help me - until he noticed I had some smokes and I gave him one. Then he was thoroughly helpful and told me exactly where to go. I still missed the show I was trying to catch, but it was a fun night all in all and I like this story of giving a public servant a tiny bribe.
When I was little my parents took me and my sibling to this one place called casa de fruita that had a small train. We rode it and afterwards got some dried fruit snacks
I remember the Prague metro stations had some really awesome 1970's decorations when I was there as a tourist in the 1990's.
When I was a kid the train station in town had a really cool model railway in the foyer where all the trains would go round if you put a coin in a slot.

:powercry-1: Smh, I just want trains here.
I like NYC’s above ground subway platforms. Something really old world about them, and they’re all relevant lines to me so ¯\ _(ツ) _/¯
The 40th Street Station on the 7 line has these really wonderful stained glass windows all throughout the station that I just love.
I like stained glass, which my stations had them.
But they might renovate. Soon. Maybe.

Just means you’ll enjoy the second even more
:stalin-approval:
Hell yeah :rosa-salute:
I used to have an irrational fear of being on trains
Oh no. I'm glad you recovered from that fear

I'm honestly a bit of a sucker for LA's Union Station but that's a bit of a homer pick for me.
I've never been but the Gare du Nord in Paris looks really nice.
The only true leftist answer is Komsomolskaya metro station in Moscow though.
Edit: other ones I've liked and been in are Grand Central in NYC, St. Pancras in London, and Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia Venice

Great megathread. I've never heard of this and it's awesome.
My favorite railway is the one in all our hearts

My favorite railway station is the hop spot in Moncton. It's right next to downtown so waiting is breezy.
Penn Station is pretty great
