Great piece of World War II era train travel history. Many GI's returned home from service never wanting to take a train again, as my late Father, who served in the Navy, remembered to his last days, having to use a suitcase for a seat between NYC and Chicago, even on active duty. There are a...

We have not done this is awhile, so name this station. It is a pleasant depot that serves a rural community, complete with a park and picnic tables. I could be Amtrak, or VIA. If I showed any more of the building it would give the identity away.
