Name That Station!

[AmtrakBlue]

Impressive.

Middletown, PA is correct!

I was going to guess Elizabethtown since I remember seeing the bench in that area while on a Keystone.

Impressive.

Middletown, PA is correct!

I recognized the location immediately, primarily due to the walkway leading up to the platform.

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.

Correct, photo taken Sept 5, 2008, from eastbound California Zephyr #6. Added detail; train was about two hours late .Photo taken at 11:32AM CDT

RRRick - you are the latest winner. Do you have another photo you would like to post?

 

[AG1]

This is a station on the Northeast Corridor.

Stamford CT. The red topped station sign looks like Metro North, and the building could be Metro Center.

Poughkeepsie.

Stamford, CT is correct. I left the "Metro Center"sign in the picture in the background as the clue. jersey42 it is your turn.

How about this active multi use station.

Saratoga Springs, NY

 

[jersey42]

Yes. It is indeed Saratoga Springs. You are up JoeRids.

By the way, I was hassled by the Amtrak agent for taking this picture. He said Amtrak had a strict policy against taking any station pictures that included an Amtrak ticket window because of identity theft concerns. I told him there is nothing in the photo that could cause concern. He was not satisfied, but I walked away and he did not pursue the issue.

I was aware of Amtrak’s posted policy (http://www.amtrak.com/photography-video-recording-policy) and I believe all my photos fit within their policy. I never brought this up, and everything ended ok. Similar issues came up on a recent thread, but this is the first time it has happened to me.

I thought that was a smaller station with a tv watching area with video casettes and so on.

 

[JoeRids]

I'll take a pass.. I dont have any station photos handy. The area where you watch the television is actually to the right of the photograph position; the station is really not that small, though. I was there most recently to ride the Saratoga and North Creek. The horses on the floor are also a giveaway that this is indeed Saratoga.

I will save my turn for next time I am near an Amtrak station.

 

[MrFSS]

I'll throw another one out.

[greatcats]

South Bend, In?

 

[Notelvis]

Playing a hunch I'm going to say Indianapolis, IN.

South Bend, In?

Nope!

Playing a hunch I'm going to say Indianapolis, IN.

But really close!

 

[Notelvis]

Beech Grove, IN?

 

[Shanghai]

Elkhart, IN?

 

[MrFSS]

Beech Grove, IN?

You have it, David. Car is sitting in front of the main building with just a little of the roof showing. Since it has a three letter code as all Amtrak stations have I guess we can call it such. Your turn, again.
