[rocknviking]

Lets give this former Amtrak station a try.

This station is no longer in service.

Las Vegas, NV Union Plaza Hotel

 

[rocknviking]

Sorry greatcats but that is incorrect

 

[Shanghai]

Mobile, AL?

 

[rocknviking]

Sorry Shanghai but that is incorrect as well. :blush:

I'll give it through today and if no one gets it I'll begin with some clues tonight or tomorrow. :help:

 

[rocknviking]

:huh: Looks like I may have gone outside the guidlines when I posted this station.I didn't realize that the station had to still be located on an active Amtrak route so I do apologize! :huh:

Sorry but what the heck let's roll with it anyway!

Clue #1 While this station is no longer on an active Amtrak line it is still serviced by Amtrak via bus from another very busy and active Amtrak station.

This should help make this puzzle a little easier to figure out.

 

[SarahZ]

Duluth?

 

[rocknviking]

SarahZ You are correct!!

With an original start date of April 15, 1975, Amtrak's Arrowhead (the name Amtrak provided the train while in service between Minneapolis MN and Superior WI), it was later changed to North Star, ( when Amtrak extended operations to Chicago overnight), The North Star name was kept even after service was later cut back to the Twin Cities in 1981. Amtrak ran up to Duluth and Superior via the BN with it's final destination being the original Union Depot in downtown Duluth. Patronage was good, but the State of Minnesota felt their was no need to fund the run anymore and on April 7th 1985 the plug was pulled on the service. This photo shows the train at Duluth in the early 1980's with the Lake Superior Railroad Museum train shed in the background. A small lobby and ticket office was built off of the building to the right out of the picture.

That is a fine looking train, too. Classic Amtrak.

Oops! I saw this when I got up and then completely forgot to look for a picture.

I really like the pattern in the concrete. It's a bit Harlequin.

I'm guessing Alpine, TX.

If I'm right someone else can post because..well..I don't have any station pictures.

 

[rocknviking]

Well that didn't take very long at all!

tp49 you are CORRECT!!

Since that pic didn't even last an hour and that tp49 didn't have a pic I'll throw this one out there for everyone.
