Replying to Name That Station!

Not Charlotte or Cleveland either but figuring out who that big stadium is for is pretty much the key to getting this station I believe. 

 

Here's a hint - Look closely at the stadium. Is it still under construction? Maybe it's eventually going to have a roof on it and become an indoor arena.

Charlotte, NC?

My first thought was CLE, but the decided lack of a lake behind the stadium killed that.

Not too many stations with big stadiums right next door, should be easy for someone that has been there...

Denver isn't a bad guess but this is not the temporary station there. The station in this photo is now 'the' station for it's city and isn't intended to be temporary.

I'm tempted to say Denver's temporary station. I've only been there once and some things don't look right, so I doubt it is.

Gotta admit that sometimes when I just need a train ride and am making a 'points run' I'll do a same day roundtrip from Salisbury, NC to Raleigh, NC. I've been on the platform in your photo cirdan 3 or 4 times in the last 12 months! 

 

OK - Next image -

 

Can anyone name this active Amtrak station?

 

There are clues here which people who keep up with things Amtrak will likely pick up on. I'll drop some hints if it's still unnamed Thursday morning.

 

absolutely right, over to you Notelvis

Oh man - tricky one.

 

This is #92 arriving at Raleigh, NC.

 

That brick building above the locomotive houses some high dollar 'in-town' condos and that aluminum sided warehouse to the right of the image is slated to be converted to the new Raleigh Union Station. The bids for that project could go out as early as this fall or, more likely, early 2014.

 

Here's an artists rendition of what the warehouse could look like after it's makeover - and I'll admit to have been tempted here to put up a photo of the warehouse asking people to identify it as a 'future Amtrak station'.

 

I don't know if this one is too difficult, but will give it a try anyhow

Cirdan is correct.

 

Cary, NC with 8 trains a day all scheduled during 'day people' hours.

 

Your turn!
