The articles referred to were from the September and October issues, in 1985. There are lots of photographs and trackplans, along with a couple of maps and a floorplan of the main terminal area, but no plans for the entire complex. A model of the station alone would consume a lot of area: the main concourse was 225' long and 66' wide, while the train concourse was 44' wide by 450' long. In addition to this, there was a 362' long baggage and mail wing. There were 14 tracks for passenger cars, and the complex included an American Railway Express building of 100,000 square feet, a power plant generating heating steam and electricity, a Pullman service building, ice house, coach shop, and an 11 track, 100 car capacity coach yard. When I visited in the mid-70s, the station was in poor shape, with many areas boarded up, but it was still an impressive sight.
