At least it was...... my sister took a photo from the Cardinal in March 2013 which showed the foundation for an improved Amtrak waiting area going in. I've yet to find a photo of the now-finished product but I'm thinking it will be similar to the new shelters in Connellsville, PA and Alliance, OH.
Here is the photo my sister took 13 months ago -
Your photo aroused my curiosity again Shanghai and I did another search. HERE is a photo of the new Rensselaer, IN Amtrak waiting area from the Great American Stations website -
I spent a great deal of time online last fall trying to find an image of the 'new' Rensselaer Amtrak Station Shangai. I didn't find any of the new one but I did keep turning up photos of the old one. Had it not been for that curiosity raised by my sister's snapshot, I would not have had a clue!
OK guys - here is my next submission. This is the attractive waiting room of an active Amtrak Station. I'll toss out some clues tomorrow (Monday) if no one is getting warm.
This building is not (yet) a staffed active station. However, plans exist to renovate this building into a new Amtrak station. Bids could possibly be solicited before the end of this year. The photo is taken from the platform of the existing station which would be replaced by this 'new' station.
Who will name the location of this wannabe train station first?
