HHS 105-03: Fall 2009; You are your own GPU

Today we visited the local train station and discussed its history and importance to the city. We noticed a lot of things about the train station, the main thing being how the past, present and future are displayed throughout the station. Although the train station itself is modern there are aspects of the past embedded throughout. There are two different passengers’ spaces and although one is locked, it shows that there was previously segregation. This is important to show because it keeps the historical value of the train station alive. There are also subtle differences such as the old water fountain vs. the new ones, the ticket booths vs. electronic ticketing. The train station also has a value of unity because of the fact that there used to be several train stations and now there is only one used for transporting people as well as freight. The layout of the building is designed with descriptive signs and many hallways which represent all the different people from different places coming together at the same place. The big clock on the wall if the train center shows the value of time to people in the past, people must agree on time. Trains 100 years ago were utilized a lot more than they are today. Back then, there were about 90-120 trains a day however today there are only about 30. The numbers have decreased because of the other methods of transportation available.
