Name That Station!

[trainman74]

The Santa Fe Depot in San Diego, I do believe.

You can tell it's California by the Proposition 65 warning on the window.

(I don't have any good photos to post, so anyone else is welcome.)

 

[XHRTSP]

Very correct.

 

[railbuck]

This should be an easy one -_-

 

[Bob Dylan]

Trick Question since the Amtrak sign says Garden City! Kansas? LOL

 

[railbuck]

No trick, Jim, you've correctly identified the station. Now if someone can just tell us why Amtrak thinks it's a good idea to have two signs of different styles right next to each other ...

 

[Bob Dylan]

I can't post a pic so its open to anyone! ( I've never been in Garden City in the Daylight, the SWC was always on time ever time I rode it!)

 

[railbuck]

This recently restored station was never used by Amtrak, although there is an Amtrak stop visible from here.

 

[Notelvis]

Just a wild guess..... Claremont, NH?

 

[SubwayNut]

It's definitely not Claremont Jct. NH

 

[railbuck]

Not Claremont or anywhere else in NH.

Hint: This was not part of the original 1971 Amtrak route network.

 

[Shanghai]

Waterloo, Indiana

 

[railbuck]

Yes, it is Waterloo.

Next person (Shanghai), please take your turn. This post is simply thrown in there for fun as an extra.

This one is unofficial and should be easy for you folks here. It's not Amtrak but I think it's pretty. I have traveled by rail to and from it once, but the picture was taken more recently.

EDIT to say that I didn't mean to sound like I was rushing Shanghai (sorry 'bout that!); I was trying to say that it wasn't my intention to take his turn. :blush: I just found an old non-Amtrak station photo I'd taken and thought I'd throw it in.

 

[Shanghai]

Hang on, Shanghai is on the California Zephyr #6 traveling from Reno to Denver with

Penny, Alan, Grace & Jishnu (and some other OTOLers) on our Rocky Railfest. I will

post a photo if my internet connection stays active.

 

[Shanghai]

OK, From Helper, Utah, I'll post this photo:

 

[pennyk]

I know, I know, I know. But will give someone a chance who was not with you the day you took it.

 

[railiner]

Looks like Reno....the new station....

found this link showing both old and new...

 

[railiner]

Well, I don't know how I did that, but that's a first for me.....I thought I was posting a link to that photo, but the actual photo was posted...sorry I can't give proper credit to the link....

edit....here it is, hopefully...http://www.cable-car-guy.com/ptrain/html/ptrain_nsrm.html

 

[Shanghai]

Railiner, you are correct. Reno, NV.

Let's try this photo - Posted from the eastbound California Zephyr in eastern Iowa:

 

[Green Eye]

Why, that's the interior of the restored Denver Union Station. I took a virtual tour of it yesterday.

Did you get a chance to take any other shots of the rebuilt station? We've seen that view on another thread, but would like to see the area that Amtrak is using now....

 

[Shanghai]

Yes, an interior shot of the newly refurbished Denver Union Station. The shops were

not open yet as the Grand Opening is planned for July 26th. The station also has an

underground mall that connects bus and light rail services. In my opinion, it is an excellent

example of a modern intermodal facility but preserving the historical value of the station.

 

[Shanghai]

I'm sorry that I didn't take more photos of the station. As I mention above, it was

a most impressive site.

 

[Green Eye]

Okay, I guess I'm supposed to upload a station. Here's one with two BNSF oil trains passing each other.
