I can't find any track layout for the station. You can however use google maps or earth to see the yard layouts by satellite. That's what I do.

Haha, i need to clarify it:

I have a deal with ivan: If he can give me a correct track map of the station, i'll rebuild it in trainz including the whole yard area.

Union Station is like Penn Station...underground. no google maps ;)

I have a platform plan of the station (really anyone can get it off the website). I also have a track plan of the yard. But am missing the leads into the station.

I did find one smallish track plan, not sure if it would be useful enough. I also have a book on CUS, that does have a number of track plans in it; I just don't think it's got the current. I know of a site that used to (and may still) have signal diagrams, that could help.
