I also strongly support this as the transit access to the other terminal was grossly inadequate.
There is a common sentiment that the existing train station should be abandoned and the old Union Station re-used. I think this would be a huge mistake. I remain optimistic that the old Union Station will find another use; however, if the existing train station is abandoned, it almost certainly would be demolished, which would be a shame, as it is actually a very fine building in its own right and a good example of architecture from its era. Although it is far more isolated, it is well connected being on the Transitway. Personally, these sentiments seem to be a somewhat naive sentimentality - there aren't very many other reasons to return train service to Union Stn that would justify the expense.
