Name That Station!

[AmtrakBlue]

Charlotte, NC?

 

[Notelvis]

Not Charlotte or Cleveland either but figuring out who that big stadium is for is pretty much the key to getting this station I believe.

Here's a hint - Look closely at the stadium. Is it still under construction? Maybe it's eventually going to have a roof on it and become an indoor arena.

Lincoln NE.

 

[Notelvis]

FriskyFL for the win! This is the new Amtrak station in Lincoln, NE which opened June 26, 2012.

You're next for posting a photo.

The sports complex under construction in the background will be the new basketball arena for the University of Nebraska. It is the construction of this arena which made a new Amtrak station necessary. The tracks leading to the former Burlington station which Amtrak had space in had to be removed in order for the new arena to be completed. The old station will remain housing a restaurant and some other things.

Here's something most of us will never see....... the front of the Lincoln station by daylight.

Where in the world is this station?

 

[GG-1]

Well it is more modern or I would say Hole in the Wall, Blazing Saddles.

Delray Beach, FL?

 

[Notelvis]

Doesn't look like a very inviting space.......

Birmingham, AL?

If you click through to the full sized picture, there's a big clue in one of the signs on the window...

I'm going to go with Delray Beach, FL

 

[FriskyFL]

No, not Delray Beach (which is an unstaffed station, BTW).

 

[Ryan]

Gah! Didn't think to look at that!

 

[Notelvis]

Charleston, SC?

 

[FriskyFL]

No, not Charleston.

I know where it is , but I cheated by Clicking through the Pictures till I found the Answer! It is in Florida, but i'll let others Post since I can't Post pics!

Fort Lauderdale, FL

 

[FriskyFL]

No, not Ft Lauderdale.

 

[Notelvis]

Hollywood, FL?

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Deerfield beach?

 

[FriskyFL]

Deerfield beach?

Ding! We have a winner. Deerfield Beach it is, my "home" station. Tri-Rail (our local commuter rail service) also stops here.

Here's a better view of this gem of a station:

 

[Notelvis]

That's a much more attractive photograph.

Here's the 100% crop of the sign that tipped me off:

 

[FriskyFL]

Amtrak shares stations with Tri-Rail in Hollywood, Ft Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, & W Palm Beach. And eventually Miami, when Amtrak moves to the Intermodal center at MIA.

I think Kevin is either asleep or working long hours, so I will post this picture.

It is an active Amtrak Station.

Go for it!!

Hint #1: There are two train per day in each direction that call at this station.
