Name That Station!

[Notelvis]

Let's go 'difficult' on this one -

This is an INACTIVE Amtrak station due to it's one train being discontinued.

One hint - this was the only public doorway in and out of this staffed station.

 

[AmtrakBlue]

Biloxi MS

I have no clue if Biloxi ever had a train.

 

[Notelvis]

Biloxi was a stop on the Sunset East but this station is not in Mississippi.

Mobile, Ala.

 

[Notelvis]

No RW - Not Mobile either.

As a hint I will add that this Amtrak station occupied a small area of what was a much larger station pre-Amtrak. That structure still stands and has been nicely repurposed.

Nashville, Tenn.?

 

[Shanghai]

Louisville, KY?

 

[Notelvis]

Shanghai, your guess of Louisville, KY is a really good one.

It isn't correct - however, this station was built at about the same time by the same railroad (L&N) as Louisville.

RampWidget is correct in that this was the Amtrak Station in Nashville, TN circa 1977 or 78. Here's a parting photo which I took that same afternoon looking down Broadway. That's the post office in the foreground with an empty Union Station and clockless tower beyond it. Amtrak was set up in the smaller REA building about half a block to the left wedged in behind the back of Union Station and the PO Building.

Your turn to post RampWidget!

Here is an active Amtrak station:

Lamy it is - photo from the door of #4 as we were about to pull out of there ahead of an approaching thunderstorm.

Your turn to post, RRRick!

I think RRR may be asleep, so I will post this pic for him.

It is an active Amtrak Station with several daily stops.

You make it easy when you use the photograph from the Metropark, NJ wikipedia page!!!

Since I stumbled onto the exact image, I'm going to be presumptuous an go ahead and post this guy:

Thanks for stepping up with a station while I was away from the internet.
