>From the 1930s until 1957 we used the L & N Station, the building and the covered concourse surviving from the early years of the city. The Terminal Station always made me think of something from the Southwest. My streetcar and trolly bus, No. 22, Boyles Tarrant, went right by it. In 1957 I first used the Terminal Station for the first time, my first ride on the "Southerner" traveling to Durham,N. C., where I remain. I rode the Southern & Seaboard from there many times, including the "Silver Comet," of the Seaboard.

Other cities turn their train stations into museums and shopping areas with restaurants, preserve the beauty. Birmingham is not the most imaginative of cities. But yes, I remember going with mother to pick up daddy who had been working out of town. I remember how my patent leather slippers sounded on the marble floors.
