Let see who can get this ugly station:

Charleston, SC: The separate but equal station with the two identical waiting rooms

 

[chakk]

I wonder if anyone has ever cataloged the "separate but equal" stations that are still in use within the Amtrak system. I have personally visited several of them in states like Florida, Georgia, and Virginia. But I would certainly be one to disagree that these "separate" waiting rooms were demonstrably "equal" in their amenities.

 

[Ryan]

Other than the excess pedantry of saying that it's "North Charleston" according to Amtrak, correct.

 

[railiner]

Yay!

Let see who can get this ugly station:

I guess the old saying "beauty in the eye of the beholder", applies here.....

I find the station quite attractive...I like the look of the building, which is sort of a latter day Art Moderne, with those horizontal lines...

I like it because it is so orignal 1950's looking...a time warp, indeed.

Thanks also to SubwayNut for those extensive photo's in his link....

I found the Charleston train station a fascinating time warp. I almost think some sort of explanatory signage would have been helpful. I wonder when the station opened if it was considered progressive by the fact it had completely equal waiting areas (but still separate because of the laws at the time). As a northerner it took me a few minutes to really realize what I was noticing with the waiting rooms!

Here is my next photo from my vast archive:

Wishram, WA?

 

[SubwayNut]

Wishram is correct (having a hard time finding stations that haven't been done yet, I'd be curious to see a master list, I did a search for it)

 

[zephyr17]

Actually have some more digital station pix. Will post tonight.

 

[Shanghai]

It has been nearly one week since this thread has been active.

Can anyone name this station?

 

[pennyk]

Deerfield Beach. (Dick, you did not block out the name on the side of the building). Maybe you should try again. :lol:

 

[Shanghai]

Yes, Penny, you are correct!! I made it easy for you!!
