Interesting how you didn't show the new underground tunnel going from the IRS to Union Station.

I know what I'm doing today lol. I've been below the station in some of the tunnels but haven't had any luck getting above it yet

I worked as a data center facility engineer for a now defunct KC telecom back the in the late 90's. Our data center was in Two Pershing Square and our corporate office was in the Marietta Chair building in the Freight House. We developed a project plan to extend dark fiber between our data center and corporate offices and we explored the possibility of using the underground tunnels beneath the Station. Went on several exploratory walks through their with an engineering firm. Extremely interesting space and somewhat spooky. There was standing water on the floor as you would imagine in any older subterranean space and we soon learned not to wear our "good" shoes when working in that space.

Yep. There was standing water and was a bit muddy. Very creepy but I wish we could've explored longer.
