Union Station is a place of business ordinarily open to the public. That means that they can't get you arrested for trespassing without first telling you that you must leave. But once they tell you you have to leave, you have to leave if you don't want to get arrested for trespassing. And yes, they do have the right to tell you not to do anything, cuz it's their property, and no they don't need to be consistent. On the other hand, were they on public property, there are VERY FEW restrictions on what you can photograph (U.S. Military installations are one example). Most people who tell you you can't take a photograph when you are on public property are simply wrong. Errr, your summary wasn’t quite accurate.
