Caption: Marker detail: World War II Troop Trains
Additional Description: Wartime at Union Station required round-the-clock transportation of troops, which stretched the station's limits. William Zarlengo, stationmaster from 1921 to 1968, recalled stepping over sleeping people when he came to work during World War II. The United Services Organization (USO) volunteers provided lounges, hot meals, and showers for servicemen. Families and friends said emotional goodbyes to boys and men leaving to serve in faraway lands, some of whom would never return.
