Future Possiblities
While the future of the Union Station will mostly involve the museums contained therein, there still exists the possiblity of resumed passenger rail service. As recently as 2009 Amtrak was involved in feasiblity studies regarding the restoration of some of its previously discontinued routes, including the Pioneer. As part of the study, four routes for the Pioneer were considered. While two of the proposed routes would bypass Salt Lake City, all four would be routed through Ogden and, presumeably, a stop at the Union Station once again.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
