Name That Station!

[Grandpa D]

Is that the new Norfolk station?

Yes, it is Norfolk! I took the picture the day before it officially opened. Here's a look at the plush interior taken through a window. Sure beats the typical old wooden benches.

That's a nice looking joint!

I'm getting ready to head out for a day long trip, so I won't be able to post a pic until the evening.

Is it considered Cheating to Google Up Old Train Station Threadssince No AUer probably ever saw this Station?( Well some of our Senior Members? ^_^ ) I found One that Looks Similar so as a Guess:

Old Washington DC Baltimore and Potomac Station??

If this is Correct, Since I can't Post Pics, Perhaps Members like the Idea of Pics Old Stations and could Post some More of these Jewels with Appropriate Hints Attached?

Washington DC.. former B&P Station. Quite certain Amtrak never served this station.

Ryan!!! Who won this round?? It's been almost a week..

 

[Shanghai]

Ryan is probably Jet Lagged!!

 

[Ryan]

Oh sorry, I missed this! Frisky in FL gets it.

Definitely jet lagged - getting to work on time this week is going to be painful.

 

[FriskyFL]

OK, can anyone identify this Amtrak station?

 

[Shanghai]

Alliance, OH

 

[FriskyFL]

Nope.

 

[FriskyFL]

Hint - the train don't stop here no more.

East Peoria?

 

[FriskyFL]

Yes, this was the best photo that I could find of the former East Peoria Amshack, I scoured the Internet for photos of this short-lived station. Amtrak service to my hometown started and ended several years after we moved away.

I'm curious about one aspect of this picture - the consist includes a baggage car; I was under the impression that the Prairie Marksman never offered checked baggage.

My sister took this photo on a trip a few years back. I don't actually know where this station is, but I do have a very good idea based on the route taken and sequence in which it appears. I could probably look it up myself, but instead I'll let you all do my homework for me.

Looks like Reno to me.

My thoughts as well.

OK, then, here is the next one.

This is a current Amtrak stop, but the station in the picture is long gone and the picture is from way before Amtrak started.

Petticoat Junction?
