Name That Station!

[johnny.menhennet]

I'll pass my turn to Grandpa D for another one; seems like we've run through just about every current station there is. Maybe we should include pictures from pre-Amtrak days to make it interesting.

And some of them 3 times!

And some stations (NYP for example) are way too obvious no matter where the pic is taken.

This one's been in the news lately.

No cheating by looking at the URL

 

[johnny.menhennet]

I assume this then must be one that does not currently have service. Since you are so active with news along the Cascades corridor + your hint, I will guess either Blaine, WA (first guess) or White Rock, BC (second guess).

 

[CHamilton]

Blaine, WA (just over the border from White Rock, BC) is correct! The locals are lobbying to renovate the station and restart service there. Here's their website.

I really don't know if this will be hard or not, but I'm hoping it is. I'm following the theme of Charlie.

L.A. Union Station?

Nope, but now I can infer it is a tough one!

 

[Shanghai]

How about a hint??

 

[Ocala Mike]

Chicago Union Station?

 

[johnny.menhennet]

Well when I said I was following Charlie's lead, I mean it is a station not currently served by Amtrak. All of the guesses were Amtrak stations, so that is the hint, since it was not clear before.

Grand Central?

 

[johnny.menhennet]

Grand Central?

Yup you got it.

 

[AmtrakBlue]

Grand Central?

Yup you got it.

It was a stab in the dark. I've never been there.

No peeking at the URL address.

That blue sign with the white circle looks an awful lot like a MARC sign. I see wires in the top corner and cement ties, so Penn line?

Not south of Baltimore and not Aberdeen or Martin's.

That makes it Perryville or Edgewood, so I'll go with Perryville.

Perryville is correct. (I didn't even bother to check to see if there were identifying signs in the pic. Duh. Well, it was my first post)

 

[Ryan]

That's OK, it was really too small to read. Unless you've stared at them as long as I have, it isn't really recognizable.

Lets try this one on for size...

 

[Eric S]

Norfolk?

 

[Ryan]

Winner!!!

 

[Eric S]

Unfortunately I don't have a photo to post, so I pass to whoever wants the next turn.

 

[MrFSS]

Try this one - use to be Amtrak but not now.

Louisville, KY?

 

[MrFSS]

Louisville, KY?

Yep - that was fast!

Let's go with this former station:
