Name That Station!

[Notelvis]

Someone traveling from, say, Chicago to Roanoke, VA or vice-versa might have considered making a Cardinal to/from Hilltopper connection at Catlettsburg, KY.....

Of course doing so would have meant a 7 hour overnight layover in either direction.

OK..... so only a real railfan would have considered that connection.

Foolish politacal train that was!

Swadian, you realize it is your turn to post a picture, right?

 

[Shanghai]

I think Swadian must have boarded the bus to Praven, so I will post a picture

for him until he returns!!

This is an active Amtrak Station that many of you have seen. Who will identify this pic:

Albuquerque, NM? Stab in the dark, but who knows?

 

[johnny.menhennet]

I'm sure it's not Albuquerque, but unsure of the specific location.

Edit: Didn't realize it until afterward, but I had the post that led us to the 100th page! Likely an AU first!

 

[TimePeace]

Cool

Hey Johnny, glad to see you back and I hope you are feeling better.

Thanks for leading us on the 100th page, and let's go for another 100!!

Your are correct, it is not Albuquerque. Try again.

This station looks like Meridian, MS on the route of the Crescent.

Also serves Greyhound if Greyhound still stops there. They did when I was there in 2005 but Greyhound has pulled out of a lot of routes since then.

Argh, my bad! You guys can just go on!

 

[RampWidget]

I agree with Notelvis... that's definitely Meridian, division point between NS(SOU) predecessors Alabama Great Southern and New Orleans & Northeastern.

I won't have much recreational internet time the next few days so I'll go ahead with the next station -

My photo is about 15 years old (hence the original Amtrak logo) but the station is still an active Amtrak station. There are no passenger trains operating in or out of this station during normal 'daylight' hours.

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

Now that's an interesting station! There's a cut in the middle of the roof. I don't know where it is but it seems to be in a wooded area.

And yes, Meridian is still servedby Gryhound, it's the 437 Atlanta-Dallas.

Yes, the station is Meridian, Mississippi.

Raton, NM??

 

[Notelvis]

No..... not Raton.

The station in the photo does not see any Amtrak train during the daylight anymore. It did until about 2004.

 

[Notelvis]

Here's another hint - the train serving this station sometimes uses Superliner coaches........ but not always. It is NOT on the route of the Cardinal.

Someplace in the Midwest, I presume? Unless you mean the Cascades.

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Port Huron MI?

 

[Shanghai]

Way to go Kevin. Looks like the End of the Line!! PTH.

 

[Notelvis]

Yes - confirmation.

Port Huron, MI is a winner.

Your serve Mr. Wolverine!

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Name this former amtrak station

 

[Shanghai]

Fosteria, Ohio?

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Sorry It's not in Ohio

 

[Notelvis]

Looks like Silver Spring, MD.

The tip-off....... aside from the metropolitan DC area parking garage and high rise buildings is in the right eide of the image - the 'warning - high voltage' sign along the DC Metro right-of-way.
