Why did you select McCook?

Will you be on the chat tomorrow??

Here goes the next one. It is pretty easy.

Go for it:

I forget the rules. Does it have to be a station we've personally visited, or can we just deduce the answer by clues in the photo? I have this one (I'm a pretty fair detective), but I've never been there. How do you do the "spoiler" thingy?

We ate a Country Kitchen there in 2009 while on a storm-chase trip, and the part I remember most (other than the woman with us eating a sausage and sauerkraut pizza with Tabasco sauce) was when a freight train pulled in and the engineer, an old man in denim overalls with a white beard, hopped off the train, walked in, sat down and ordered a coffee. He was still there when we paid and left.

I'm not sure what I'll be doing at 6 tomorrow, but if I'm not busy I'll surely pop in to the chat.

Providence, RI.

 

[jacorbett70]

Correct... PRR60's turn.

Adding. I was there yesterday and now on the Downeaster to Maine.

A place near and dear to my heart:

 

[Shanghai]

I say Williston, North Dakota.

 

[PRR 60]

I say Williston, North Dakota.

You are correct! My daughter lives about 45 miles away in Sidney, MT, where it has been a horrible week. My thoughts and prayers for the wonderful people in that area.

You're up!

This may be a little difficult, but here goes:

This may be a little difficult, but here goes:

I think we had this already. Isn't it Princeton, IL?

 

[Shanghai]

Yes, Princeton,IL. I didn't know it had been previously posted.

Anyhow, time for a new picture.

Go, Thunder Road!!

 

[Thunder Road]

Ok, hopefully this one's a bit easier:

Note: also a Google image, so I will cite once it has been guessed.

 

[Ocala Mike]

Certainly looks like NEC; I'll guess New Brunswick, NJ.

Close but no cigar.

 

[Ocala Mike]

OK; we had Princeton, IL so how about Princeton Jct, NJ?

I think we're only supposed to guess once per calendar day according to the rules, but I'll tell you no, it's not Princeton Junction either.

 

[Ocala Mike]

Oops! Guess I'll wait until I'm sure from now on.

Don't worry about it, I hope I didn't come off sounding too rude there.

I just didn't want you to go through and guess every NEC stop until you got it.
