The NRHS Convention special departs. This shot was taken from University of South Carolina grounds. The station in the background has been restored and is now part of the university campus.

This wye track is unfortunately long gone. a building sits on this location now.
As for the old Unon Station, all of it is california dreaming; there isn't really anything upstairs and there are remnants of an old bar or dance club on the lower level. I know since I now get paid to crawl around in there to fix stuff, which is ironic since I used to risk arrest to poke around in there ;-).
...the former Union Station is now California Dreaming restaurant, not part of the university. There are plenty of university buildings in this area now, however.
Awesome shot. It looks a lot different today. The station in the background is now a California Dreaming bar & grill, though I suspect there are offices on the second floor unrelated to the restaurant.
I believe that these three photos were taken on the grounds of the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. That railway station in the background is now restored and used as part of the campus.
