The town ought to rehab that station! it's a classic!

Yes, It is Fort Edward, NY. We departed from the station yesterday on the Adirondack,

bound for NYP. Your turn to post a photo.

Here's a different angle on an active Amtrak Station. For a first hint I will say that the classic station has been nicely renovated but Amtrak is located elsewhere in the structure....... not the original waiting room.

Durham, NC?

Salisbury, NC

 

[Notelvis]

xyzzy is correct.

Salisbury, NC.

Try this one:

Definitely somewhere in NC based on the toy locomotive.

Nope - not in either of the Carolinas.

I was thinking Texas (the Lone Star state) based on the same clue.

Nope - but a clue, this station is the first and/or the last stop before Chicago.

I'll guess Homewood, I'll.( I remember the Yellow Station there!) If correct I can't post pics so its open to anyone!

Not Homewood, which:

(1) is an adobe or stucco Southwest-style building of the kind one would expect on the Santa Fe rather than the Illinois Central and

(2) has no platform adjoining the Amtrak station house. Instead, Amtrak and Metra each have its own island platform (Amtrak low and Metra high) reached by a tunnel under the tracks.

To rule out some of the other "first/last stop to Chicago" guesses, it isn't Glenview (nice new-ish brick station), LaGrange Road (nice old brick station), Summit (bus shelter), or Hammond (Amshack) either. :giggle:

 

[MikefromCrete]

It's not Dyer or South Bend.

St. Joseph - Benton Harbor, MI?

St. Joseph - Benton Harbor, MI?

Never mind. I'm an *****. I didn't see it on the Pere Marquette schedule because I was looking at the Wolverine and Blue Water. Ha.

 

[MrFSS]

St. Joseph - Benton Harbor, MI?

Yep - your turn!

 

[dnsommer2013]
