Washington Union Station

**Original** - Union Station, a train station serving the greater Washington, D.C. area with services from Amtrak, MARC, Virginia Railway Express, and the Washington Metro. Following World War II, the station began to degrade until it was renovated for the bicentennial of the United States, becoming the National Visitor Center. It lacked popularity and eventually many of the updates (especially "the Pit") were closed. A complete redesign opened in 1988, offering Union Station as a mall/train station combination, complete with a movie theater, shops, and an extensive food court.

Comment I believe this image can be adjusted. The white balance seems "cloudy" or a strong filter is being used. Can we make it to daylight white balance? Zoo Fari 16:40, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a version with brightness adjusted. Zoo Fari 19:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Insufficient resolution, it would be great if I could read the inscription. MER-C 02:54, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Its +3mp, much greater than the FPC requirement of 1000px of either side. --Muhammad(talk) 20:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but by resolution I mean detail not number of pixels. MER-C 07:36, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think what MER-C is trying to tell us is that the resolution is not enough to read the carved words near the top of the building (next to the statues). Zoo Fari 23:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
