[Bob Dylan]

Think Peter is correct, sure looks like the poor,sad Michigan Central Station in poor,sad Detroit!

 

[Montanan]

Detroit Michigan Central?

Very good guess, but no. I took the photo on an active Amtrak station platform ...

 

[Ocala Mike]

Wild guess - Newark, NJ.

Here's another photo from the same location. Sorry for the blurriness, but it was a handheld shot in the middle of the night. (My train was seriously late.)

Omaha, NE?

Omaha, NE?

That's it! The photos are of the old CB&Q station that was used by Amtrak before the current station was built next door. What a shame to see that great old building sitting there empty like that, especially when the current Amtrak station is so inadequate.

Next?

You got it.

Shanghai and I both posted within seconds of each other so I don't know who goes next. I'll leave that decision to the OP and manager of this thread.

 

[Shanghai]

I think John Corbett should post the next station photo. He properly

identified the last photo.

Boy, am I gonna pay more attention to the stations next time I'm on a trip. I used to take pix of every station I could as I passed or stopped, but those are all in a box in storage now.....

Maybe it's time to get a scanner / slide converter and "go at it".

BTW, can anyone recommend a "good" (decent quality, and fast) slide converter? I've seen them advertised on Hammacher Schlemmer and other catalogs, but am a bit wary of purchasing without some advice.......

 

[jacorbett70]

Dart is right and up next.
