Name That Station!

IIRC, RVR has video monitors for arrival and departure info now.

That works but it isn't so popular among train enthusiasts!

 

[Notelvis]

RVR?

Yessir - Richmond Staples Mill Road for the win.

The next post is yours!

Why were the information boards removed?

They use video monitors in Richmond now.

Aside from being more modern (albeit less interesting), the fact is that Richmond now has more arrivals and departures than could be displayed on the original information boards which appear in my picture.

Last time I was in Richmond they had several interesting Amtrak travel posters displayed in that space now. Not a total loss.

Oh, I thought the original board could be changed depanding on the time of day, sorta like a mini-Solari board. My bad.

St. Albans is correct. Was in a rush and didn't realize that file names now come up when you click on a photo, meaning I really do need to rename the guesses.

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Name this former amtrak station

 

[Notelvis]

Omaha, NE.

Name this former amtrak station

Could that be Akron, Ohio?

 

[railiner]

No......Notelvis, is notwrong, I am......

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Omaha, NE.

Nothing gets by you LOL you're up.

 

[railiner]

And I should have known better, having lived near that former Burlington station from 1971 until 1973....the bridge leads toward its former connection with the UP station across the tracks....

The first time I crossed that bridge, was on a trip I took back in 1968....I rode the MILW/UP City of Denver west from Chicago, crossed the bridge, and rode the CB&Q Denver Zephyr back to Chicago. Dome all the way, of course, except when stealing away for meals in the diner..... .

Maybe someday Amtrak will leave it's little Amstation in Omaha and return to a grander structure.

I'll pitch this one with a hint -

Active station serving one train a day each way. Since taken in the early 1980's this station has been renovated and moved about 40 feet back from the tracks...... the parking lot is now between the station and the platform.

Can anyone name it? It is not Hamlet, NC.

 

[Notelvis]

Another hint -

The train one direction is always at night. Going the other direction the stop is made early in the morning...... shortly after daybreak much of the year.

 

[railiner]

Hmmm.....could it be Clemson, SC?

 

[RampWidget]

How about Toccoa, Ga?

 

[Notelvis]

railiner for the win - Clemson, SC.

 

[railiner]

Some one who can, please post next photo. (One of these days, I'll have to learn how, for now I only know how to cut and paste links to other sites, etc.....).

 

[jebr]

Gonna make this one maybe a little too easy, but we'll see how quick you guys are.

There's a new vending machine in this station...

(not a sponsor)

Hint: saw this on a cell phone website the other day and found it fairly amusing.

 

[KrazyKoala]

Chicago?

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Seattle?

 

[jebr]

Chicago?

Yes!

 

[KrazyKoala]

Am I crazy for recognizing the tile layout and color?

Here an inside picture of non-existent telephones and eerie black goo seeping from the walls...

 

[KrazyKoala]

Station from the sky...........

 

[jersey42]

I am pretty sure it is New Carrollton Md. The overhead wires in the sky view were a big help.

 

[KrazyKoala]

yup, good call...
