The Union Station Nashville Yards, Autograph Collection

About this audio guide

This guide to The Union Station Nashville Yards hotel in Nashville centers on the building's old ticket office, now a bar called the Bar Car, and what turned up when it was renovated. It traces the depot's opening in nineteen hundred on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, the era travelers like Al Capone and Mae West passed through, and its close call with the wrecking ball before preservationists saved it in the nineteen eighties. Listen for how that history still sits underfoot at the bar.
