11 Beautiful Depots Demolished. Yes, Penn Station NY tops the list, but the others (including a bonus 6) are good too. http://bit.ly/Nc9aZ (via @robertjohndavis)

Chicago has seemed to have suffered the most loss, with the additonal loss of Northwestern Station and LaSalle Street Station as well.

A gem, which is often overlooked is Dearborn Station, which is very nicely adapted for reuse.

For shear luck of history, the Lackawanna's Hoboken Terminal and ferry slips survive as probably the finest example of a waterfront terminal. The CNJ terminal in Jersey City survives, although the ferry slips are gone and the shed is in danger of ultimate collapse. The Erie's Pavonia and the PRR's Exchange Place in Jersey City are both gone now as a result of tunnels under the Hudson and changing (and declining) traffic patterns.

Add the fact that the clock tower has been recreated in the past
few months complete with illuminated "Lackawanna" sign.
