Name That Station!

[rickycourtney]

Continuing with the theme of the rear end of trains... I submit to you fine folks:

 

[cirdan]

Sacramento?

 

[rusty spike]

I second Sacramento, that is definitetly the new platforms at SAC. The old SP shop buildings (now part of the Calif. State RR Museum) can be seen at left.

 

[rickycourtney]

Sacramento is correct.

cirdan, you're up!

 

[cirdan]

Okay, this picture is about 6 years old but I don't think the location has changed much, although in the future it will.

Former Southern Railway (and current Amtrak) Station in Raleigh, NC.

There are plans on the drawing board...... and enough grant money secured ...... to convert a nearby supply warehouse into a 'new' Raleigh Union Station. Work could begin as early as this fall. Here is an artist's rendering of what the new station could look like -

 

[cirdan]

Raleigh NC is correct.

Notelvis, over to you.

I'm back on the computer where I can't access the URL Box for pasting the properties..... instead here is a link for a side view of an active station. It's an old photo and I can tell you that some of the outside signage has changed.

Can anyone name this station?

[cirdan]

Atlanta?

 

[Ryan]

The link for the first one conviently tells me that it's High Point, NC.

I agree that the second one is Atlanta.

 

[Notelvis]

Yes on both -

High Point was first but the link told you that...... I thought I had pulled that one down before anyone saw it. (Sorry)

The second one is, in fact, Peachtree Station in Atlanta..... Ryan's serve.

 

[Ryan]

Nah, cirdan got there first.

 

[Notelvis]

Oops - my mistake.

Go for it cirdan.

 

[cirdan]

ok, here we go.

 

[Bob Dylan]

Milwaukee? :unsure:

 

[amtrakwolverine]

Pittsburgh?

 

[cirdan]

Pittsburgh is correct, over to you Amtrakwolverine

I think Kevin is lost, so I will post this picture in his absence.

This former famous station will be recognized by most AU members.

Here is the photo. Unfortunately the caption in the link tells the whole story. At least it did the first time I clicked on it

Detroit Central

Detroit Central

Ryan, Detroit is correct. What a shame this formerly grand station has nearly gone to ruin.

Your turn to post a picture.

Why are there so many offices above the hall, though?

 

[Ryan]

OK, sorry for the size on this one. Hopefully that'll make this one a little more difficult.

 

[amtrakwolverine]

beaumont?

 

[Ryan]

So much for it lasting a while.

Your move, Kiss fan.
