Oh yeah. Another decade or two, and the station might never have been rebuilt due to the onslaught of the automobile. The amount of work it took to run the rail lines underground was an impressive feat of engineering, especially for 1913.
It was built at the heyday of rail traffic in the U.S., and was the largest of its time (still is, BTW). It has all that Antebellum ambiance that you don't see much of anymore. (The rail geek in me is trying to break out and start babbling about other union terminals, but I'm keeping it back with a stick.)
