Who has the most stations within 1 1/2 hour Drive?

[Railroad Bill]

WOW!! We riders out in the country sure live a deprived life :giggle:

Cleveland, Elyria, Sandusky and Alliance are the only ones within 90 minutes for us

 

[GregL]

I live about 15 minutes from Bulington, Ia (CZ), 15 minutes from Ft. Madison, Ia (SWC), or 1 hour from Galesburg, Il.(all Illinois routes). Good shape to go almost anywhere!

I am also less than 90 minutes from Ottumwa,Mt. Pleasant,Ia and Macomb,Il, but I did't mention them because they are on the same routes that I can use.

Vermonter:

St Albans, VT

Essex Jct, VT (my home station!)

Waterbury, VT

Montpelier, VT

Randolph, VT

White River Junction, VT

Adirondack:

Port Kent, NY

Rouse's Point, NY

Plattsburgh, NY

Westport, NY

Port Henry, NY

Accessible by mass transit from Burlington: Essex Jct, Waterbury (certain times), Montpelier (certain times), Port Kent, NY (ferry)

Sad part is not a single one of them is staffed!

 

[OlympianHiawatha]

I have 5 Heartland Flyer stops within 90 minutes of me- OKC, Norman, Purcell, Pauls Valley and Ardmore. And if I drove like a turpentined cat, I could almost make Gainesville in that time

 

[amtrakwolverine]

I have 8

Pontiac

Birmingham

Royal Oak

Detroit

Dearborn

Green Field Village

Ann Arbor

Jackson

That's counting 90 minutes in either direction from my house

 

[JayPea]

Exactly one, Spokane, but there are several Thruway bus stops within the 1 1/2 hour limit: (Hey, Thruway bus stops are listed in the Amtrak timetable, so I'm counting 'em!!!)

Colfax, WA (right out my front door)

Pullman, WA

Ritzville, WA

Deer Park, WA (if you hurry)

Moscow, ID

Lewiston, ID

Potlatch, ID

Plummer, ID

Coeur d'Alene, ID (again, if you hustle)

 

[John Bredin]

Well, being realistic about how far one can actually drive in metropolitan Chicago in 90 minutes, I'll limit myself to the Amtrak stations within the metro area. :giggle:

CHI -- Chicago Union Station

GLN -- Glenview (Amtrak station nearest my home)

LAG -- LaGrange

NPV -- Naperville

SMT -- Summit

JOL -- Joliet

HMW -- Homewood

HMI -- Hammond, IN

DYE -- Dyer, IN

If I actually believed the travel-time projections made by Google Maps :lol: I suppose I could add Plano, IL (PLO), as well as Sturtevant (SVT), Milwaukee Airport (MKA) and Milwaukee Intermodal (MKE) in WI. But since I choose to take the Hiawatha to Milwaukee rather than drive, you can guess what I think of those projections. :huh: :wacko:

What about Rutland?

 

[Ashland Train Enthusiast]

90 Minutes?

At a minimum (assuming no traffic):

LOR, Woodbridge, ALX, MSS, CLP, WAS, NCR, BWI, BAL, ABE, WIL, Newark (DE), PHL (?), Rockville, HFY.

Probably a few more.

To build off of Ryan, from where I live in DC (Silver Spring) I can count 13 (time from google maps):

New Carrollton: 19 Min

Rockville: 22 Min

DC Union Station: 25 Min

BWI: 36 Min

Alexandria: 40 Min

Baltimore: 44 Min

Lorton: 48 Min

Manasses: 53 Min

Woodbridge: 53 Min

Harper's Ferry: 1 Hour 9 Min

Quantico: 1 Hour 9 Min

Aberdeen: 1 Hour 18 Min

Fredricksburg: 1 Hour 27 Min

Culpepper and Newark, DE are pretty close at 1 Hour 43 Min, so that could probabaly be made in that time. Not sure I could get to WIL or PHL in 90 min, esp with usual 95 Traffic.
