This is a Hard One Micah! I'll just take a Wild Guess since it seems to be in the South: Manassas,Va.????

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

Not Manassas and here's today's clue:

This station is served by a line that connects to the NEC.

 

[Shanghai]

Norfolk, VA

 

[Notelvis]

Berlin, CT.

Berlin, CT.

Good job! This dilapidated depot is indeed Berlin, CT. I caught a shuttle there for NTD in 2009… Your turn!

:blush: Not in the South! Missed it by "that much!" :lol:

 

[chakk]

Looks like the station also serves a narrow gauge line.

 

[SubwayNut]

Hope you went inside the depot. I posted a guess with photos of the interior of few posts ago.

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

No it was a Sunday, it was closed inside.

These photos were taken in May 2009, Amtrak was doing work there those are their vehicles.

This was all a points run, I went to NHV on MN and then did two short turns on the Vermonters and Shuttles for 2.70 apiece, each worth 400 points in the end. Here are some other photos I took that day: https://www.facebook.com/mdmiller1/media_set?set=a.1059241527282.2009272.1413210103&type=3

Let's use this one. Should be very easy but if not I'll leave a hint after supper tonight.

Sure looks like Denver Union Station.....I can easily recognize it (spent a part of my life there), but the surrounding buildings and structures are 'foreign'...

 

[AmtrakBlue]

I agree that it's Denver. The much talked about "shed".

 

[railiner]

And as they used to say on the sides of Railbox box cars: "Next load, any road".....

by that I mean anyone feel free to post. I am still posting-challenged' in that respect... :blush:

 

[railiner]

Yeah that shed.....somehow I get the feeling that 'open sky' look would be more appropriate at Dallas.......

(Inside joke for those familiar with the Cowboy's stadium....)

 

[Notelvis]

Yes railiner - this is Denver Union Station.

railiner has passed so the thread belongs to anyone who would like to post next. Perhaps AmtrakBlue as you also correctly identified Denver and that 'shed'.

This area looks much different from when I spent several summers working with a youth group in Denver in the mid-1980's. I can't wait to get back after Union Station reopens and the new commuter rail line to the airport is running.

This photo was taken during a California Zephyr trip in February 2013. We arrived in Denver ahead of schedule and I had about 90 minutes to walk around taking photos. In parting, here is another one that I took shortly after dawn that morning -

 

[railiner]

The only buildings I recognize are the ones along the Wynkoop Street side.....I left there in 1989, so saying a lot has changed is quite the understatement for that city...

 

[AmtrakBlue]

Let me see what I can find.

 

[AmtrakBlue]

Probably easy for some here.

Chicago Union Station, south concourse. Building in the distance is the cavernous old main Post Office, of note because 1) one of the recent Batman movies was filmed in the lobby, and 2) old mail platforms that figure into many plans (official, unofficial, and fantastical) to expand Union Station's capacity.

 

[AmtrakBlue]

Yep, took the pic while crossing the tracks on Jackson.
