I do not think I have anything to post right now, so you should try again (with fewer clues). :lol:

Great long shot but, the clock tower gave it away !
I took it yesterday while walking along the river. I did make sure the Chase building was not "obvious" (with it's name showing).

Been a couple of really busy months at work but I've lurked around a little...... think I'm ready to play again.
This one looks like Grand Junction. CO.

Here's an interior photo which someone should be able to get without much difficulty -
While the old logo arrivals and departures board has been removed, the basic layout of the waiting room and the seating area is unchanged. This is an active station.

RRRick is correct - it's Richmond, VA Staples Mill Road in a photo taken in the late 1980's.
The interior of this station hasn't changed much over the years. To my knowledge, the only other Amtrak station to use these built in benches like this is Clifford Lane Station in Jacksonville, FL. Both were built in the 1970's when Amtrak was abandoning the huge downtown stations in favor of smaller, modern structures out by the railroad yards.

Heh. JAX was my first thought, but there were way too many trains on the board for that to be it. Didn't think to consider "sister stations".
Next up ,this station photo is taken from a video while on the move. I left a clue in the photo.

Actually Ryan, I thought that the number of trains on the arrivals and departures board was the best clue in the photo I posted!!!!! Looks like JAX but has too many trains.......

Would the clue be the old green diamond Illinois Central logo in the sidewalk?
This isn't any station in Illinois nor is it any station that I saw from the City of New Orleans when I rode from Chicago to Jackson, MS last summer.
So........ I think (based on those buildings visible to the left of the station) that this is somewhere in Mississippi south of Jackson. Working from south to north I'm going to guess McComb, MS.

The clue was a bit of the front of the steam engine 2542, at the adjacent RR equipment display.I find it easier to identify stations that have steam engines on display. Good catch on the RR logo on the walkway.This is on the route of the City of New Orleans.
McComb, MS is correct

Wow......totally did not catch the sliver of steam locomotive visible in the original photograph.
Here is an active Amtrak Station in I photo that I took five or six years ago. It's one that I've wanted to use for a few months now.

First answer is a correct answer.
Hamlet, NC.

That's the one they moved from one corner of the diamond to another, no?
Edit: YEP!!!

Wow, that's awesome.
You can see the outline of the station to the NE of the current location:

Yes Ryan -
Not only did they move the Hamlet station across the active east-west railroad, they rotated it 90 degrees in the process. The side shown in my photo used to face the north-south platform and now it faces the freight only east-west line.
Look closely in your image right at the diamond and you can see they outline of where the rotunda section of the station originally sat. It has been moved a good bit further back from the tracks.
