Is that a sleeping kitten on the floor? How about Prince, WV.


This guess is correct. You're up!

Riding trains when I'm not in a basement aiming lasers, or at least visiting South Station when there's a break in the action.

Good guess, but sadly incorrect.

Good guess, but still not correct.

OK; guessing Latrobe, PA. Flag stop station (clue - train doesn't always stop there) and Rolling Rock beer is or was brewed there.

Well reasoned, Latrobe is correct. You're up.

Apparently, Rolling Rock is no longer brewed in Latrobe, but the brewery is now owned by City Brewing and used to make various labels for Iron City Brewing, among others (I have had a Narragansett which was brewed there, for example).

Actually, it looks like an IED went off at the base of the canopy!

I am unable to post anything worthwhile right now, so I will defer to amtrakwolverine.

To be fair, there are two platforms, and the one in the picture appears to have been out of use for a very long time while the active one looks quite good.

You mean Prince, right?

I went on Google Maps to check it out, and even though the picture is pretty close to Prince, there are not two platforms, and there are 3 tracks, it looks like.

Amtrak: Pacific Surfliner (100000000000), Southwest Chief (5), California Zephyr (1), Coast Starlight (6), Capitol Corridor (1), Empire Builder (2), Acela Express (1), LSL (1), NE Regional (2)
Non-Amtrak: NCTD Coaster (at least 20), Metrolink (4), SD Trolley (at least 20), LACMTA Red Line (at least 50), Seattle Streetcar (1), Chicago 'L' (probably 13), NYC Subway (probably 15), WMATA Mass Transit (probably 20), LIRR (1), Las Vegas Monorail (at least 12), MBTA Mass Transit (16), NJ Transit commuter rail (3), I'm sure there are more that I can't think of right now

upcoming Amtrak: Pacific Surfliner (10000000000 more), Coast Starlight (1)
upcoming non-Amtrak: Coaster, Red Line/Expo Line in LA, NJ Transit (5-10)

Pretty good for a 16 year old :)

It's not Prince because the only train that goes there is the Cardinal which has a Sleeper.

I think it might be Greensburg (GNT).
