Ha, I know this one. It's Ballybunion Station in Kerry Ireland. I don't think it's a current Amtrak Station.

I was wondering if the rules had been changed mid-stream somewhere in this thread... I had it about 90% sure that it was Ballybunion, but didn't know international stations were allowed. Cool picture, though, and interesting history on the Lartigue Monorail!

Since no one has posted in a couple of days I thought I would submit this one.

Hint: the lady at the ticket counter cannot sell you a ticket for any train. This station was built for a commuter train that never got started.

Del Rio, TX??


I highly doubt Del Rio would even have preliminary plans for any form of rail transit.

As to the true location of the picture, I have no clue.
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),
upcoming non-Amtrak: Coaster, Red Line/Expo Line in LA

Is there not an Amtrak station at Del Rio? It seems to be listed as a stop... Posted Image

Well no - not what I mean. When stntylr said that the station was built for a never implemented commuter rail line and Shanghai guessed Del Rio, I found it hard to believe that Del Rio would have had serious plans for a rail system (not counting Amtrak) to operate in their area. The city really isn't that big. Plus if it is not yet an Amshack, the Del Rio station was likely built a while ago, even though I have no knowledge on the subject.

:hi: Looks like Johnny out in Sunny SoCal nailed it before any of we Texans! ^_^ (BTW Johnny: The Del Rio station is an old SP Stop and at one time was a vry busy Station! There are some Local Transportation busses that use this Station now, and a couple of Community Orginizations have offices there but it is an unmanned Station! The Border Patrol and HLS frequently check the trains here since Mexico is 5 miles away!)

Wish Harvard were in sunny SoCal! But I am having to endure two worse things right now. I'm either in a room that has no air conditioning or one that is far overly air conditioned. In SoCal, we don't have AC, because it is never necessary.

Yes, it's Cleburne. At one time the city hoped for a commuter train to run from Cleburne into Fort Worth. Lack of money killed this idea but the train station was built with this in mind.

Speak for yourself -- the San Fernando Valley is in "SoCal," and I assure you, air conditioning is pretty much necessary here.

Yeah you're definitely right. I'm thinking more about my section of SoCal, right on the beach with nice constant breezes.

Cleburne may yet get its commuter train some day; Fort Worth continues to keep the proposal in its unfunded plans.

Actually, about 90% of SoCal gets hot or very hot. Everything from just west of Kingman to within about 15 miles of the coast need a/c. You can see it coming in from the east by (horrors!) air. Very brown for hundreds of miles right up until you hit the San Jacinto mountains, then it begins to turn green and a little cooler. But you need to be in a coastal city to begin to think a/c is not necessary. I live in the San Fernando Valley and part time in Morro Bay on the Central Coast, so I have a lifetime of living in both areas. Yes, MB does consider itself and is part of SoCal

Now back to figuring out station pics.
