Name That Station!

OK, at what station area were these two photos taken ? To be accurate , this statue is across the access road to the station by the parking area. The platform is in the background.

I guess nobody has ventured out front of this station during the long service stop to see the park out front. This station has several displays and plaques that can be seen during a walk around the station.

Altoona, PA?

I think it is Whitefish.

I think it is Whitefish.

Stan

Yes, this is Whitefish, MT. The old photo was taken of one of the displays outside the station. Stan, it is your turn.

 

[StanJazz]

How about this one.

Cascades

Glenview, IL

 

[StanJazz]

Yes the cabbage is in Cascade paint.

 

[StanJazz]

Glenview is correct. 6 years ago there was a Cascade cabbage running out of Chicago for a time.

I am teaching in Whitefish this week and have been to the depot several times. As one would expect, there are lots of oil trains. I start for home on the Empire Builder on Saturday.

 

[AG1]

Glenview is correct. 6 years ago there was a Cascade cabbage running out of Chicago for a time.

This was a tough one, Stan. I didn't recognize it as a Cascades route station. I found some web photos of that cabbage car on other routes so I checked out the IL route stations that use those cars.

The next station was taken through a typical Amtrak dirty window.

No, not Hamlet.

Hi Eric,not Haver or Havre, MT either.

 

[Notelvis]

Mt. Pleasant, IA.

 

[AG1]

Mt. Pleasant, IA.

Yes, Mt. Pleasant, IA

 

[Notelvis]

Can't tell if the photo at Mt. Pleasant was taken from #5 or #6 though. Looks like the people on the platform are watching #6 arrive but the shadows don't seem 'right' for a morning eastbound train.

For my next contribution here is an active and (very) unstaffed station. Can anyone name it?

 

[AG1]

Middletown, PA

 

[Notelvis]

Impressive.

Middletown, PA is correct!

 

[Ocala Mike]

Shadows notwithstanding, the Mt. Pleasant shot was almost certainly taken from an E/B No. 6. Passengers would be waiting on the wrong platform for No. 5, unless No. 5 is operating "left-hand rule" on a double-tracked main.
