I have a friend who lives in Sebring and have been there
a couple of times. The curved windows and the tracks that
are near the station are good clues. The fireplace and
the bright yellow walls are also clues.

Don't think so. I haven't seen the bus stop somewhere in Nebraska or Colorado (on the CZ route) that I saw last November.

Wondering what to call me? Just keep it simple, call me Misty. Even if you know my real name through other avenues, I don't prefer it, and I'm sort of surprised I answer to it outside of work anymore.

Know I'll be in your area? Look for the orange backpack and feel free to call me out if you have a few minutes to chat. ^_^

Booking a Hostelling International stop in the United States as part of a trip?  I've noticed it's cheaper to book through http://www.hiusa.org/ instead of by a similar URL that they also hold - for some reason, the one I don't list charges a booking fee, among other things.

Also, this station does not currently serve Amtrak. Shouldn't be too hard though.

Yeah, this, Chilliochte, and the other Galesburg station lost service in 1996 when it was rerouted.

I think it is Streator, IL.

That's correct! What does the microwave communications tower have to do with it?
