The interesting link below gives the history of many of the U.S. most storied stations:

Hope this post is not redundant.

Wow! I did not know how many standing rail stations there really are in Texas. Thanks for the link!

Does the one in Sanderson really count as "standing"? :lol:

Great find! Being from Washington and specifically eastern Washington I found the information on the depots still standing in my area very interesting.

What a great body of work in this website! Thank you for positing the link! It is tucked away in my favorites to be brought out again and again.

I found a few that were incorrect from my state, Kentucky. They said some were still there and they aren't.

It's great to see so many stations still around, even the ones that are unused. The tracks that run through my town are still used for freight, but the passenger station has long since been torn down; the place where it once was is now a park, and the only evidence that it was once a station is the Frisco caboose (very similar to the one in my avatar) that serves as a monument to the majesty of that departed railroad.
