Name That Station!

[lo2e]

I think the B-52s wrote a song about this station. :giggle:

 

[Shanghai]

If it isn't Orlando, FL or Kingston, RI it must be Rouses Point, NY.

 

[pennyk]

If it isn't Orlando, FL or Kingston, RI it must be Rouses Point, NY.

For what it is worth, I think you are correct.

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Shanghai Is correct It is rouses point

 

[Notelvis]

Does the old D&H station in Rouses Point still stand....... and is it in any kind of shape worth saving?

 

[FriskyFL]

What a beautiful station, first time visitors to the USA must be so impressed.

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

Rouses Point need a better station then this!

 

[Shanghai]

Here's the next station.

It is an active Amtrak station.

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

Looks like the Southeast but I can't remember off the top of my head.

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Sebring FL

 

[Notelvis]

Concur - here it is from the north end -

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

Nice old smoothside cars! What train was that?

 

[Shanghai]

Sebring FL

Yes, It is Sebring, Florida.

 

[Notelvis]

Nice old smoothside cars! What train was that?

'Silver Star' in 1981.

 

[amtrakwolverine]

OK name this station

 

[Notelvis]

Looks like Bellingham, WA.

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

That sure looks like a commuter rail station.

 

[zephyr17]

Looks like Bellingham, WA.

I second Bellingham.

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Looks like Bellingham, WA.

Bellingham is correct.

 

[Notelvis]

OK - Can anyone name this station?

Let's start with an interior photo taken in the late 1970's - and three clues to get the conjecture started.

1) This building is no longer the Amtrak station for this city. Amtrak now stops at a smaller and 'newer' station a couple of miles away.

2) At the time this picture was taken, four Amtrak trains stopped here each day. More Amtrak trains serve this city now.

3) Finally - this building still stands housing a popular and successful local business.

Don't have a guess, but I love the colorful doors.

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

That's a classic old Amtrak station. Those colours are really different from today. But I have no idea where it is.

 

[tomfuller]

Given the clues - my guess would be Martinez California. I've spent hours in the new MTZ station.

 

[Notelvis]

Martinez is not correct but it is a good guess given the clues you have to work with.

Let me add this 'outside' photograph taken the same day at train time. The platform arrangement and signage may be a helpful hint......
