Trivia: Metro stations in LA, Chicago, and Toronto share what name?
Penn
Central
Union
Capitol
Correct Answer: Union
So why is this answer correct? : Because of the wide reach of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, there are many Penn Stations, including two just miles from each other in New York CIty and New Jersey. While Penn had an affiliation with a specific company, Union Station came from a general term: If a station was a hub serving several companies, they would often take the name “Union Station.” That’s how LA, Chicago, Toronto, Denver, and Washington, D.C., all ended up with similar names.
