Name That Station!

[AG1]

I once spent 5 hours waiting in those seats at Cumberland for the Capitol Limited that was delayed by fallen trees on the tracks.

This next photo is of poor quality, but that might make things more challenging for the group.

It's a really odd angle, but it kinda sorta looks like St. Paul Midway station, so that's my first guess.

I am going to say no on that one, Jeb.

No, not St.Paul, MN Midway station . This station is where the lights are on the other side of the train.

Oh.......... shame on you. This photo is a trick question.

I was thinking that this was St. Paul Midway too BUT now that we know it it is not, I think that the building which we were mistaking for Midway Station is actually a post office......

So, that narrow swatch of a building where the lights are on must be another image of the Amtrak Station in Cumberland, MD. Was this photo taken from the Holiday Inn?

Very sneaky of you.

Ha ha, very clever. I think that it is...

Yes, that was very sneaky of me. I accept the shame. :giggle: That was indeed Cumberland, MD. taken from the Holiday Inn(extra points for that) . The previous inside photo gave me an opportunity to use that poor outside photo that I had deleted from my computer, but which showed up again during a backup restore. Your turn Notelvis !!

Here's one from a trip I took three or four summers ago. I've been itching to use this one for awhile. I don't think it will be too difficult for anyone who has been here!

Portland, OR, from the Metropolitan Lounge.

 

[Notelvis]

Apparently it was not 'not difficult' but, rather 'easy as pie'.

I don't believe I've ever had one identified in less than 5 minutes before.

Yes - this is Portland, OR from the Metropolitan Lounge!

It's your turn CHamilton!

 

[CHamilton]

Yeah, I was pretty shocked to be able to respond that quickly

Here's one that shouldn't be too hard.

Yes, you are correct! Home of the Skagit Tulip Festival that begins April 1. I found this picture on their website. Your turn.

Nice photo, Charlie. Reminds me of Kugenhof Gardens in the Netherlands.

Where was this Amtrak station clock tower in 2003 ?

Rensselaer, NY.

 

[AG1]

Rensselaer, NY.

Yes, you are correct. This is ALB (Rensselaer), NY. Your turn !

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

This should be an easy one because there are a lot of clues.

ABQ?

 

[amtkstn]

The one and only.

What's with the Amtrak cook (I presume) and the shopping basket? Is he buying burritos from the burrito lady? or is there a grocery store nearby to stock up on supplies?

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

Yes Kevin got it, that is Albuquerque, NM. The chef on the SWC that trip was a good one. They took on supplies in La Junta and Albuquerque, potatoes and salad ingredients, I also noticed some kosher salt. My friend and I were in the line at the supermarket behind him at LaJunta picking up some beer.

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

Hm well I guess I'll restart things. Last one was too easy so this one will be harder. Name that station!
