Its Time To Play WHERE ARE WE Again

[MrFSS]

Everything has been so serious on the Forum lately. I thought it would be nice to play the Where Are We picture game, again.

Each of these five Amtrak Stations is on or very near a body of water. Can you guess where they are?

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

To save my bandwidth, if you quote, remove the picture links in the quote, thanks!!

The bottom one, #5, is Red Wing, MN. A few years ago I stayed at the St. James hotel, which is in the picture, and wandered over to see the WB EB come through. The water is the Mississippi River.

That's right!

I believe #2 is Mobile Alabama even though that is not a current station.

Sorry - not even in that state.

 

[MrFSS]

OK - Maybe some clues will help with #2, 3, 4.

#2 is on the Ohio River

#3 is on the Gulf of Mexico

#4 is on the Arkansas River (duh!)

 

[Trogdor]

#2 is Ashland, KY.

#3 is Gulfport, MS.

#4 is Little Rock, AR.

 

[MrFSS]

#2 is Ashland, KY.#3 is Gulfport, MS.

#4 is Little Rock, AR.

You got them, Robert!

After everyone has had a chance to see the answers, this can be un-pinned.

I've created a contest of my own, posted in the "miscellaneous" forum.

The Amtrak version of "where are we" is replayed every morning when the passenger awakes, looks at the timetable, watch, scenery outside, and realises they don't match!
