That was very nearly the fate of many a Union Station in the 70's, including my local one, Cincinnati Union Terminal with its Art Deco design and murals. (If you've ever seen the 'Hall of Justice' from the Superfriends cartoon in the 70's-80's, you've seen the front of CUT; it was used by Hanna Barbera as a model.) Some terminals adapted to the changing times, some converted to something else (CUT is now the home of the Cincinnati Museum Center) and some were torn down.
