Yes, it is Norfolk! I took the picture the day before it officially opened. Here's a look at the plush interior taken through a window. Sure beats the typical old wooden benches.

That's a nice looking joint!
I'm getting ready to head out for a day long trip, so I won't be able to post a pic until the evening.

No to all of those.
Hint 1: This station is no longer standing.

Is it considered Cheating to Google Up Old Train Station Threadssince No AUer probably ever saw this Station?( Well some of our Senior Members? ^_^ ) I found One that Looks Similar so as a Guess:
Old Washington DC Baltimore and Potomac Station??
If this is Correct, Since I can't Post Pics, Perhaps Members like the Idea of Pics Old Stations and could Post some More of these Jewels with Appropriate Hints Attached?

Oh sorry, I missed this! Frisky in FL gets it.
Definitely jet lagged - getting to work on time this week is going to be painful.

Yes, this was the best photo that I could find of the former East Peoria Amshack, I scoured the Internet for photos of this short-lived station. Amtrak service to my hometown started and ended several years after we moved away.
I'm curious about one aspect of this picture - the consist includes a baggage car; I was under the impression that the Prairie Marksman never offered checked baggage.

My sister took this photo on a trip a few years back. I don't actually know where this station is, but I do have a very good idea based on the route taken and sequence in which it appears. I could probably look it up myself, but instead I'll let you all do my homework for me.
Looks like Reno to me.DSC_0853.JPG

My thoughts as well.
OK, then, here is the next one.
This is a current Amtrak stop, but the station in the picture is long gone and the picture is from way before Amtrak started.
