How's about Springfield, Ma.?Sacramento is another example of a station where you can go to all four points of the compass.
And you could stretch the definition a bit, and say Albany, if you lump Schenectady with it....

It's a weak distinction, then, considering that the "right angle" tracks aren't used by Amtrak, and don't even take you in a unique direction. The "westbound" tracks on the upper level are basically on-ramps down to the Amtrak tracks below. It's sort of like claiming that "Big City Airport" is the only airport served by United Airlines that has jet bridges facing in all four directions.You guys are all taking a wider view than the person was.
You’re looking for a station where two lines meet at the station at roughly a right angle, where both tracks run through in service. Secaucus Junction would be such an example, but Amtrak doesn’t stop there.
None of the stations mentioned have such a feature.
Not much to complain about the SWC since it looks like it's going to be saved. Not as much interest in complaining about boxed meals since several AUers said it was good. Hmm, what else there to talk about.I think people have way too much time on their hands to endlessly discuss such a relatively minor point[emoji12]
