Name That Station!

[manchacrr]

Chicago

 

[SarahZ]

I've walked that way a million times.

 

[FreeskierInVT]

Definitely Chicago

 

[Ryan]

That's the bleeping QT machine that screwed up my Cardinal tickets (back when paper tickets had value).

 

[amtkstn]

I have used that machine many times and it always get't right. Beats waiting in line at the ticket counter.

It's very much in use, still staffed by an Amtrak agent. Photo was taken last week.

That sounds good. Any overhaul in plan?

The answer is partially Berlin will become on a stop on the New Haven-Hartford-Springfield Commuter Rail Line corridor that will see the line becoming double-tracked and receive high-level platforms. The depot will of course be kept, (its historic). The 1970 pre AmStation in Meriden will get the demolition ball.

Berlin,CT

You are correct, sir.

CHICAGO UNION STATION is correct! manchacrr it is your turn. Here is the uncropped original.

Here's the next station photo:

 

[Notelvis]

Dearborn, MI?

 

[manchacrr]

Dearborn, MI?

Correct. Your turn.

 

[Notelvis]

Dearborn, MI?

Correct. Your turn.

That was a lucky guess on my part........ with the Horizon coaches and the look of the trees I was thinking 'Michigan'. Beyond that I was trying to think of places in Michigan with 1970's era stations based on that platform shelter.

I'll post a photo in just in minute.

 

[Notelvis]

Here we go - this is an active (multiple trains daily) Amtrak stop offering all the amenities you can see in this photo.

Can anyone name it without any additional hints?

 

[Shanghai]

Alliance, OH??

 

[Ryan]

Catenary and low platforms likely put it between PHL and Harrisburg.

I'll guess Parkesburg, PA for no good reason.

 

[Notelvis]

Not Alliance and not Parkesburg...... but Ryan has made some helpful observations.

 

[AG1]

Middletown,PA

 

[Shanghai]

I will guess Mt. Joy, PA

 

[SubwayNut]

Coatsville, PA?

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

Maybe Exton, PA.

I know it's on the Keystone Corridor in PA, that was my old stomping ground. Not exactly sure where.

 

[Notelvis]

RRRick is correct. This is Middletown, PA........ just an 11 block walk from the long-term parking lot and a short shuttle bus ride to the rental car offices at the Harrisburg airport.

Your turn RRRick!

 

[AG1]

This is a long shot. :huh:

 

[SubwayNut]

Altoona, PA?

 

[Shanghai]

Route 128 near Boston?

 

[FriskyFL]

Is this a model layout?

 

[SubwayNut]

Route 128 near Boston?

I don't think it could be Route 128, How would Acela be able to stop there, it lacks high-level platforms.
