Hey whats up? Are you guys ever going to work on that Baggage Check building that is connected to the main structure? Plus do you know what is going to happen with the REA Building? That building is very cool. I don't want it to be torn down to the ground. I bet you guys can buy it for a DOLLAR!

We are trying to get some grant funding to seal the baggage building and repair the roof. It's believed to be in the $500K range.

We're looking into acquiring the attached two-story from the city. No plans for REA as yet.

Hi Mr.Miller. I might sound crazy but I think that you can make a new arch way over pass. It may cost big $$ but you can possibly get the money by doing something really huge. Also do you know that the bricks of the BCT were a light colored? Maybe that can be a future project for the Terminal. I'm really glad that the Terminal is being cleaned and looking alot better now.

One of our fans based his masters thesis on the building, which included drawings of a new archway over the tracks. It IS possible!

I love coming to the Central Terminal to see what progress has been made. I was never fortunate enough to see it in it's hayday, but I image all it's beauty and look forward to my visit(s) next year. Thank you.

Yes, the original brick color was buff, a light tan. Years of coal soot and other pollution turned it the darker brown it is now!

Is there away to turn the bricks to a light color once again? If you can, that can be a good project.
