Name That Station!

[AmtrakBlue]

Since Jim thinks it is easy, I assume it is in Texas. Since I have never been to Texas by train (but will in April ), I have no idea what any of the stations look like. I will guess Taylor, Texas.

Dang, forgot about that one. But, then, I don't see any evidence of BBQ sauce...on the guys or the ground. Guess they clean up well nice down there. :giggle:

You are correct about the BBQ sauce in Taylor, but I think the station photo is Austin, Texas!!

I'm certain Jim is very familiar with that station too.

That was my first guess when Jim posted his response. I didn't get around to posting though till the same time as PennyK when I guessed it was Jim's home station. I don't have pics, so I usually don't "play", but just observe.

My first guess was Austin also, but the station did not look large enough to be a station for a capitol city. I do not have any photos to post anyway. I usually do not "play" either.

 

[JayPea]

Austin is correct!

Here is another easy one. Maybe Penny or Betty can correctly

idenfity this active Amtrak station.

 

[JayPea]

Meridian, MS?

 

[Notelvis]

It's interesting how the trainshed is clearly about half the size the original one was....... and how the tracks curve away from the platform at Meridian.

 

[Shanghai]

Meridian, MS?

Yes, you are correct!!

Your turn to post a pic.

 

[JayPea]

This is an active station that has been in use by the same train since day 1 of Amtrak:

 

[AmtrakBlue]

I would say it's out west (UP sign) and that it's a service stop based on the "cart" with pallets.

Spokane?

 

[JayPea]

Aw, man, I thought the fact that it was in the daytime and that the UP isn't usually associated with Spokane would make it tough!

 

[AmtrakBlue]

Sorry!

Takes someone who doesn't know the schedule (I posted before I remembered it was a night stop) and knows little about the rail lines, except that UP is in the west. And that fact that you're live near there, correct?

I don't have a pic, so someone, even you JayPea, can post the next one.

 

[Shanghai]

I'll post this photo for Amtrak Blue (Betty).

It is an active Amtrak Station.

Go for it!!

 

[AmtrakBlue]

I believe I know this one, but I won't say, just yet.

Is that why you posted it for me, Shanghai?

 

[Shanghai]

YES!!

 

[jersey42]

If you posted it for AmtrakBlue, my guess is Delaware. It is not Wilmington, so it must be Newark, DE

That's correct. It would be my home station if it had more trains stopping there.

 

[jersey42]

How about this one. You cannot see the station, but this what I saw from the train door in December.

 

[Ryan]

GBB?

 

[jersey42]

GBB?

Yes it is indeed GBB / aka Galesburg, IL. Here is a link to more information about the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy engine 3006 shown in the photo.

Ryan, you're next.

 

[Ryan]

Lets see what this one brings...

 

[amtrakwolverine]

old Ann arbor?

 

[CHamilton]

I would guess that it's a UP station, since the architecture looks similar to the station in Eugene, OR.

 

[Ryan]

Neither AA nor constructed by the UP.
