Bahnhof Dresden Neustadt, Picture 2, Edited Versio…

Here's the exterior. The distinctive lightning rods and the portals mark this as a German station (unless it's earlier, which is possible), but there are still features that resemble American stations, those arched windows, for example. Dresden Neustadt, in spite of not being the main Dresden station, is still quite busy, and I had a small brunch while I was here, since the passenger facilities are better than what you'd expect, too.

I don't the exact age of Dresden Neustadt, but it seems the station dates to the steam era. After all, relatively few stations this ornate were built once electrification started. There are some features that resemble stations on the New York Central, like New York Grand Central, Utica Union, and so on. The arched window and the skylight are the two things that I notice, although I assume it wasn't the same architect.
