Name That Station!

Back Bay

Gah! Ninja'd overnight. That picture certainly helps; I had initially excluded Back Bay because in looking up an overview, I didn't think the replacement station was Rebuilt on the same site, you learn something new every day!

Is this an active station RRRick?

And DC Train Enthusiast, here's a photo from Trainweb of the new Back Bay Station from a vantage point similar to my exterior photo. All it needs is a beat up green car at the curb!

Is this an active station RRRick?

Yes, this is an active station served by three Amtrak train routes.

Looking through my station photos, I believe it's Manassas, VA.

Here's a good one for a Sunday morning.

Can anyone name this active Amtrak station?

Leavenworth, WA

 

[CHamilton]

Leavenworth, WA

Don't we wish! At present, Leavenworth doesn't even have a station, just a platform. Via Gonorthwest.us:

Leavenworth, WA!!!

Did I get it?

 

[Notelvis]

That's an attractive house behind the Leavenworth shelter....... I could live there.

But no, the station in my picture is not Leavenworth.

Yemassee, South Carolina.

 

[Notelvis]

Yemassee, SC is a pretty good guess but not correct. The Yemassee station is not as attractive as is the one I've posted.

The one I've posted has been an active station throughout Amtrak's entire history. It has also been nicely renovated within the last 6-8 years.

Dick, how many of those views were yours? I bet a bunch of them were.

Chris, when you started this thread over a year agao, did you think it would go this long and be this popular?

 

[Notelvis]

Another clue -

For most of it's Amtrak History, as is now the case, this station has served two trains a day..... one in each direction. The renovation completed a few years ago was funded as part of an initiative of the state DOT. This would, of course, exclude any station in South Carolina.

Southern Pines,NC

 

[Notelvis]

And we have a winner!!!!!!

RRRick has again correctly identified my station photo. This one is Southern Pines, NC.

Interestingly, for a time in 1978/79 Southern Pines served both the Silver Star and the Champion northbound but only the Silver Star stopped southbound. This quirk became moot when Amtrak's version of the Champion was discontinued in October 1979.

Your turn to post RRRick!

 

[AG1]

I haven't reviewed all 135 posts so this station might have been presented before.

 

[CHamilton]

Looks like Centralia, WA to me.

Correct, it is Centralia,WA

 

[CHamilton]

Okay, let's try this one. I imagine it should be pretty easy.

 

[LWBaxter]

Kansas City?

 

[CHamilton]

Kansas City?

Yes, you are correct! Your turn.

Here is an active AMTK station. The insert image icon won't work for me, so here is the link:
