Lovely station........ no idea though.

The Penthouse! Oh, wait, this is Name That Station, not Name That Train Car.

This station Amtrak still uses, got there today just before they put the curtains up to close off the center of the hall for an event. I couldn't believe what a ghem it is:

CIN?

 

[SubwayNut]

Wow, no one's close, Here is the Amtrak ticketing and waiting area in the next round room:

Kanasas City?

Kanasas City?

I was thinking the same thing as that statue looks like it could be Truman. But when I looked up pics of Kansas City's Union Station, they didn't look like these pics.

How about Solana Beach, California?

This is modern Solana Beach:

I guess I'll post an exterior:

Keep guessing!

Worcester, MA.

 

[SubwayNut]

Yes, FriskyFL, you guessed it before I had to post a giveaway photo of the MBTA partially high/partially low-level platform that Commuter trains and the Lake Shore Limited stop at.

Went from Boston to New York Yesterday via the Inland Route.

 

[FriskyFL]

Ok, guess it's my turn...can anyone identify this station?

Sanderson, TX?

 

[FriskyFL]

No, it's not Sanderson.

Sanderson, TX?

Too Fancy for Sanderson, and it's been Torn Down, there's just a Crumbling Platform there Now!!!

 

[FriskyFL]

This fine depot won't suffer the same fate as Sanderson.

Truckee, CA?

 

[FriskyFL]

No, not Truckee.

What a stunning appearing station Worcester is. And currently only served by the LSL and a few 'T' commuter trains? Seems like a waste of such a beautiful facility....

Kissimmee, FL?

 

[FriskyFL]

Kissimmee, FL?

Not Kissimmee.

 

[FriskyFL]

It appears that a hint might be in order...

This recently rennovated depot "sees" six trains daily.

It isn't that much of a waste, portions are used for offices, the central great hall is rented out as an event space (but normally open to the public). There is an intercity bus station and a new downtown bus hub will open across the street from the station next Month, MBTA is in the process (and just did the first round) of increasing Commuter Rail Service. The issue is that the electrification on the NEC made sending trains via the inland route take two hours longer, not just an hour.

I also just uploaded a full photo set of the station (over 100) if you want to get a full feel of the buliding.

Thanks for providing that link. Great photo's and info!

I seems a shame that there is currently no direct service between WOR and NYP via SPG.....I used to ride to WOR in the '50's. There were no thru trains back then, but there were many connections available via either SPG or PVD.....
