Name That Station!

[lo2e]

Sanford, FL?

 

[Ryan]

Jacksonville?

Sanford, FL?

Not Sanford but that's a logical guess since SFA is a servicing facility.

 

[RampWidget]

Jacksonville?

JAX is correct. Either 98 or 92 was down a unit and 52 had 3 units out of SFA and set one off. Unusual move for 52 but saves time for the Silver that picks the unit up. Photo credit to my friend Robert Beck.

Ryan, your turn.

 

[Ryan]

Sweet!

Try this one (taken by tracktwentynine) on for size.

 

[SubwayNut]

That would be Syracuse, NY, specifically the William F. Walsh Regional Transportation Center.

 

[Ryan]

You are correct, sir!

 

[SubwayNut]

Here's the next one, (I already have a second hint photo lined up if no one is able to guess based on this one):

 

[tomfuller]

Albany Oregon?

 

[SubwayNut]

Nope,

Here is Photo #2, on the platform:

 

[SubwayNut]

Well I guess its time for another hint. The station lost its agent who was laid off effective October 26, 2012 and worked for another railroad, not Amtrak (and couldn't even issue their tickets).

Pontiac?

 

[Shawn Ryu]

Kalamazoo

 

[TCRT]

How about Saint Lambert, QC?

 

[MikefromCrete]

Niagara Falls, Ont.

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

Oh man, lots of suggestions coming in.

 

[Shanghai]

Niles, MI

 

[Notelvis]

Nope,

Here is Photo #2, on the platform:

I've been coming back to this photo for three days now.

Could we get another hint?

Also, must we assume that this is a station that Amtrak serves or has served? This looks kind of like a MARC commuter station to me. The hint about the agent not being an Amtrak employee and not able to sell tickets makes me think this....... plus the railroad has a decidedly B&O look to it.

But then if Amtrak didn't stop here, why would there be a baggage cart on what looks like a way too narrow platform......

And it looks like there is a platform only on the station side...... not consistent with MARC operations.

No answers....... only more questions.

It could be a station in Canada. Note that there is a walkway to the other track from the platform.

 

[Ryan]

Signals are wrong for MARC.

I was thinking the same. Maybe there is some clue in the track, which is clipped, not spiked.

 

[Notelvis]

That's the clue I was looking for - eh?

Is is ST Lambert, QUEBEC?

 

[SubwayNut]

Sorry, totally spaced on keeping up with my station guess.

Its St. Lambert Quebec. the soon to be discontinued stop on the Adirondack which recently lost it's VIA ticket agent towards the end of lastmonth, two days after I was there.

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

Good job, Notelvis! You cracked what none other could! Well, you got some help but still.....

 

[Notelvis]

I appreciate the help - thanks......

Admittedly I had Google Earthed every MARC station trying to find a possible answer....... not sure exactly why I decided it had to be a MARC station.

HERE is my contribution to the thread...... and a hint - this was once an Amtrak station. Amtrak still passes by but the passenger stop has been relocated a few miles away.
