i've been to the paris and new york stations... the one in spain looks magical... all those plants!
I love Gare du Nord from France and the King Cross station. Mostly because I'm a serious Harry Potter fan.

I'm surprised that you don't have Antwerpen-Centraal railway station on this list, it is by far one of the most beautiful train stations I have ever seen!
I was like "Paris? Really?" cos in Budapest, Hungary we have one that looks almost the same, and then I realized both of the were designed by Eiffel; https://www.google.hu/search?q=budapest+nyugati+p%C3%A1lyaudvar&hl=hu&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=O-CYT7aCMerj4QTsz5XFBg&ved=0CFAQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=930
my fave is New York :)

So beautiful pictures! I think train stations are often really beautiful, architecturally but you often don't realise it... I'm lucky enough to have seen 3 of your selected stations in person! Kings Kross, Grand Central and Gare du Nord... and they all made my breath hitch. :)

Saw Tokyo Station recently. Can't say much for the inside, but the outside was purdy as punch. If my blog www.whatthehaute.com talked about architecture, I would have featured in on there as a response post to this!
Beautiful architecture!
I loved your pics they are gorgeous places! One of my favs is the joint station of the union and pacific rail road in Salt Lake City, it is not used anymore, but it is still full of history!
Love, http://changeabilitybyfrieda.blogspot.de/

NY's Penn Station should have been on this list. It's a tragedy of epic proportions that they destroyed it to make Madison Square Garden.
I used to work across the street from Union Station in downtown LA and that train station always took my breath away! Being that I grew up in the country, it encompasses what's beautiful about the city.
Russia is missing from this list. The outside stations are unremarkable but the underground is majestic.
Glad to see that two of them are in my country, Portugal!
It's really hard to pick a fave really, but of the ones I have visited besides the Portuguese ones (King's Cross, Atocha, Gare du Nord, Grand Central) I am torn between Grand Central and Atocha.

You missed Prague and Milan! They're breathtaking as well
I've already been in 4 of them (Lisbon, Oporto, Paris and Madrid) and although I'm from Portugal and like particulary the one from Lisbon from the outside ( which at close is even more beautiful) and the one from Oporto from the inside, I must say that I've got curious about the one from New Zealand!! Maybe some day ;)
Porto :)
São Bento is beautiful!
You should add Valencia Nord:) check it out on Google images
