Looks like Dallas Union Station....... or Ft. Knox.
That is a fine looking building. Seems more like a government building such as a courthouse or something in that view, although they usually have a large set of steps in front for lawyers and politico's to hold their 'press conference'. 
It also occurs to me that it's strange that there is not more of a setback from the street, with a sweeping driveway for cars and taxi's in front.....

Nice Picture Dick! That's the Taylor, Texas Station where I wait for #21 when I do my Point/Bar-B-Q Runs from AUS!! :giggle:I will post this photo for Mr. Hudson!! An easy, active and popular Amtrak Station.
Info for railiner: The taxis drive around back and pick up next to the Platforms by the door into the Basement Amtrak Station/Witing Room! Wolfgang Puck has a Catering Operation Upstairs (not Open to the Public) where the Waiting Room used to be @ Union Station!Nice Picture Dick!

It's Dallas, I see the DART logo vividly.
Yes, it is Dallas. Sorry I missed your post. You were
first to correctly name the station.

No problem Shanghai -
Let's try this active station. Can anyone name it?

Burlington, NC?

Cirdan is correct.
Cary, NC with 8 trains a day all scheduled during 'day people' hours.
Your turn!

Oh man - tricky one.
This is #92 arriving at Raleigh, NC.
That brick building above the locomotive houses some high dollar 'in-town' condos and that aluminum sided warehouse to the right of the image is slated to be converted to the new Raleigh Union Station. The bids for that project could go out as early as this fall or, more likely, early 2014.
Here's an artists rendition of what the warehouse could look like after it's makeover - and I'll admit to have been tempted here to put up a photo of the warehouse asking people to identify it as a 'future Amtrak station'.

Gotta admit that sometimes when I just need a train ride and am making a 'points run' I'll do a same day roundtrip from Salisbury, NC to Raleigh, NC. I've been on the platform in your photo cirdan 3 or 4 times in the last 12 months!
OK - Next image -
Can anyone name this active Amtrak station?
There are clues here which people who keep up with things Amtrak will likely pick up on. I'll drop some hints if it's still unnamed Thursday morning.

I'm tempted to say Denver's temporary station. I've only been there once and some things don't look right, so I doubt it is.

Denver isn't a bad guess but this is not the temporary station there. The station in this photo is now 'the' station for it's city and isn't intended to be temporary.

My first thought was CLE, but the decided lack of a lake behind the stadium killed that.
Not too many stations with big stadiums right next door, should be easy for someone that has been there...
