Rocklin, CA is correct! Guess its small waiting room didn't ring a bell for anyone.
jersey42, your turn.

The waiting room was no help to me. I needed the Sacramento Bee sign to put me close. The first hint and the picture then pointed me to a fairly new station. Finally, Google Earth then looked like your photo from above.
Here is a recent photo of a station/platform under construction. They are currently using a temporary platform beyond the right edge of this photo.

Would this be Whitehall, NY?
Given the appearance of this wooded hillside it had to be northeastern US. The single track suggests somewhere on the route of the Vermonter or Adirondack...... and the American Legion building pretty much sealed the deal. I did a google search of American Legion posts in New York and Vermont and discovered that Post 83 in Whitehall, NY is adjacent to the Amtrak station there.
So this is an educated guess from someone who hasn't ridden the Adirondack since 1987.

Not only is it a good guess, it is a correct guess. You are up!
After I posted this photo, I found a similar photo on wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehall_(Amtrak_station). It does not show the new platform construction, but the American Legion building is very visible in the background.
By the way, here is the temporary platform from about two weeks ago (at least I think the asphalt is temporary??):

That looks awfully nice for a temporary platform.
OK - here's a recent (June 2013) interior photo from an active Amtrak Station. Should be easy for anyone who has been to this station regularly. Who will name it first?

Not Flagstaff Shanghai -
But like Flagstaff this station does serve a single LD train...... one a day each way.

Another hint -
The two trains serving this station are not scheduled to stop during '3rd shift' hours..... 11pm - 7am.

I'm surprised that there are no other takers -
One last hint and if this doesn't generate any guesses, I'll put up an exterior photo tomorrow morning.
The long-distance train which serves this station is superliner equipped. When that train is running late, passengers with a tight connection further along the line are regularly bustituted from this station.

We have a winner jimhudson! Klamath Falls, OR it is.
As Jim does not post photos, the floor is open to anyone who would like to toss one up for us.
Meanwhile - here is that exterior photo of Klamath Falls that I threatened to put up -

I am attempting to post my first photo. If this works, this is a photo of an active station that is in a temporary building. This is a photo of the new construction.
Good "educated" guess Dick. You are correct.
Nice job Penny for a first time! (but how did Dick know this Parking Lot was in Norfolk? Think I heard Johnny Cash singing "I've Been Everywhere!" )Aloha
Somehow it looks like a "White Tower"? My mind is weird. :giggle:

Dick knew where I was traveling last week. That is why I stated that his guess was "educated." :lol:
Based on the palm trees, my uneducated guess thinks it looks like Florida or California. I think I have seen every active station in Florida and that does not look familiar (although I may be wrong). That is as close as I can get right now.
Your home station in New Jersey??? :giggle:
Jim,
Not New Jersey. We don't have palm trees!!
I thought you were going to guess Austin!!
Have a good day.
It is beautiful. I have not seen the station from that side.
