Did Post #3870 get skipped ?

Looks like Topeka. If correct, someone can post a pic since I can't post right now.

Topeka is correct. Anyone can post the next Amtrak Station photo.

This one seems to have been missed - let it be the next one to guess.

 

[Notelvis]

Macomb, IL?

 

[John Bredin]

A clue: active Amtrak station served by a corridor route and no long-distance trains. But not Macomb.

 

[FreeskierInVT]

Just a wild guess- Mystic, CT?

 

[John Bredin]

Nope, but geographically "warmer".

Westerly, RI?

 

[John Bredin]

Not Westerly.

Durham, NH

 

[John Bredin]

Yep, Durham-UNH on the Downeaster. AKA the Dairy Bar. A pic from the web including one of the banners I feared would give it away:

Ball's in your court, SubwayNut!

From the SubwayNut archive, here is the next photo to guess:

Hope, AR?

Clues I'm gathering: it's a newer station (looks very new, in fact) in a farming community (note the grain elevator in the background.) It also has a mix of trees in the background, making me think it's not in the desert area. I'm thinking it's actually further north, but I can't figure out what stations have been built or refurbished recently other than Hope.

Stanwood, WA. I figured it was a northern plains station based on the trees and background structures but, the open pagoda style canopy was puzzling.

 

[SubwayNut]

Yes RRRick, The distinctive canopies of the quite new Stanwood, WA Station opened on November 21, 2009.

 

[AG1]

I left a prominent hint in this photo.

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

Minot!

 

[AG1]

No, not Minot.

 

[Shanghai]

Fort Worth, TX?

 

[AG1]

Not Fort Worth either ! This photo was taken at 5 power magnification which has flattened the true view of the location. HINT-- There is something on display in the photo.( I will be back to the forum about 6:00 PM EST)

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

Havre?

 

[AG1]

ALC Rail Writer has the right answer, HARVE , MT ! It is your turn to post.

If you look in the upper right of the photo you can see the bell of a steam engine on display behind the trees. This is Great Northern Railway 2584.

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

All right but I promise I won't make it easy… here you go, name that station!

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

Incidentally I never saw the bell, it got cropped out on my browser. I knew it was the Builder, and obviously a smoke stop... once you said something was displayed I had to remember which station had that engine there.
