Yep.That looks like the new (well, relatively new) escalators at MKE.
I can see "MTZ" in the railing, but that's not this station!Martinez
Your gathering report confirmed what I thought - Mt Vernon, WA.I can see "MTZ" in the railing, but that's not this station!Martinez
The presence of a catenary post puts it on somewhere on the NEC. Subtracting the mileage on the catenary post from the Boston-NYC mileage puts this station at Kingston, RI.This photo was taken by me from inside of a train.

Yes, I took that picture on the morning of March 12th this year on Northeast Regional 66. This was just after the first of a few major March snowfalls in the Northeast and on the coldest day of the month. When I boarded in Washington, the temperature was near freezing. Snow cover began around Wilmington, and by the time I reached Boston in the morning it was 9 degrees with a wind chill well below zero. Interestingly, I rode the Lake Shore Limited and Maple Leaf back to New York that night, and there wasn't even an inch of snow from around Worcester to Poughkeepsie, which is where I was expecting it. Another note is that this was the night of the time change, so we left New York significantly late but still managed to arrive in Boston about 15 minutes early.The presence of a catenary post puts it on somewhere on the NEC.

Nice head fake with the Superliners. Ordinarily they wouldn't be serving Mt. Vernon, but every so often (including right now) the 510/517 pair gets the Talgos replaced by Superliners.Your gathering report confirmed what I thought - Mt Vernon, WA.I can see "MTZ" in the railing, but that's not this station!Martinez

That's correct! I had also previously mentioned this station in a post in a thread on stations near brew pubs, as the Skagit River Brewery is right across the track.

We have a winner! Yes, Evansville L&N depot. Designed by Richard Montfort who also designed the Nashville station. This station was razed in 1985 by some very short sighted people despite opposition from many citizens.Could that be Nashville? Wait, on second thought perhaps Evansville?
Your getting warmer, and yes, the ship model is a clue.Can't identify, but that ship model makes me believe it is somewhere in New England.....
