^I was just going to say that. Ottawa station, by the great John Parkin, and looking as good as ever. Toronto's new roof is much taller of course.

Last time I was there it seemed like it desparately needed a fresh coat of paint.
Still, a great looking station.

Now you mention it, I guess it has aged a bit since I used it regularly as an undergrad so long ago. But not as much as I have

They actually just finished re-finishing it not too long ago: http://www.viarail.ca/en/about-via-rail/capital-investment/article/ottawa-station-building-steel

Very nice! I do wish they replaced the entire "heritage" shed with it.

Agreed, the heritage componenet of this one is just so weak in-comparison to what this train-shed could be.

It's a very Transit City-esque solution. I thought you two would like it.

The shed could be so much more attractive if fully restored and enhanced, with the trusswork lit up and accented, and platforms with more attractive lighting, signage, and paving. While something a lot more spectacular is possible, it could have an excellent historic atmosphere with the right treatment.
