What is that old depot in your town used for today?

The UP depot in Salt Lake City is now part of the Gateway shopping center. Part of it is home to the Virgin Megastore, and the north end is now a private club. The main waiting room is open to the public, when it's not being used for some sort of private meeting. A couple of blocks south lies the D&RGW station which is home to a museum and restaurant. Amtrak used the Rio Grande station until moving into a prefab station located one block west of the RG building. As with the UP station, the tracks were removed as they would have passed through the Gateway. <br /> <br />Too bad SLC didn't make the choice to use one of the stations for the soon-to-be "Front Runner" commuter service. I guess that at the time it would have cost too much to bring just one of the stations up to standards necessary for it to be used as an actual train station again. At least the neon signs on both stations still light up at night.
