[railiner]

Looks like Newark, NJ....

Newark, NJ is correct.

Love the Art Deco features of that station....

Anyone that can, please post the next photo.........

Taken this summer. I've temporarily deleted my signature since that might give it away.

[edit: apologies for the picture being sideways. I have no idea why it's like that since it's vertical on both my phone and laptop]

[edit 2: fixed]

I don't know what it is but that sure is a nice overhead view of Amfleets. They're Amfleet I but not on the electrified segments. Why does that second Amfleet on the left have a big gash on top?

Albany-Rennselear, NY

 

[FreeskierInVT]

Albany is correct! I took this when transferring from the Maple Leaf to the Adirondack back in August. When I booked the Adirondack it was sold out from NYP-Albany, but I snagged the last seat on the Maple Leaf that day and had a short layover in Albany.

Consulting my archive, Lets go with this station:

Omaha, NE

 

[SubwayNut]

Nope,

Hint: The station normally only sees service in the middle of the night.

Flat open land and northern landscaping, Grand Forks, ND.

 

[SubwayNut]

Grand Forks, ND is correct!

The first photo I took on a road trip, this photo was the train was 7 hours late! I asked the conductor if there would be any smoke stops. The response "I guess we'll do a quick one at Grand Forks so there isn't a revolt" (the next one shouldn't have been until MSP).

This is a setting sun in late July if that helps with figuring the time line at this station.

Winona, MN.

 

[AG1]

Winona, MN.

You are correct ! This is the westbound Empire Builder . Post away!

 

[jebr]

Essex, MT

I'll bet that was from his trip in the dome this weekend. That should narrow it down a bit.

Plano, IL. Slightly misleading in that I was thinking of stations without a proper depot building, but I couldn't recall any on the Illinois Zephyr/Carl Sandburg route. But the shelter in the picture is across from the depot at Plano. Tricky, tricky! :hi:

Unintentional trickiness, but you are right! (I took it as I was boarding to go eastbound into Chicago, and I needed to be on that side of the tracks if I didn't want to be left in Plano!)

The Kewannee Station lacked a proper building (just a brick swack) until a couple years ago.

The Kewannee Station lacked a proper building (just a brick swack) until a couple years ago.

It had a full roof over four full walls with windows and a door, which is more a proper building than some stations get.

Let's get this topic re-started:
