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.[/url]

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

Just a wild guess- Mystic, CT?
Nope, but geographically "warmer".

Durham, NH
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:

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.

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)

Havre?
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.

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

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.
