Guess the U.S./Canadian Station [image version]

Post by Level Crossing »

Here's a version of Guess the British Station for people on this side of the pond. :D
In this game, you must provide the image. In the other version here, you must provide hints.

Rules

1) You can only post a picture of a station if you guess the previous station correctly or if somebody passes their turn to you.
2) The station must be within a US or Canadian state/province
3) The station must not be a) a preserved line station or b) urban transport system station (e.g. NYC subway, Boston's T, etc.)
4) But (in reference to point 3) you are allowed if the station has an interchange with a railway station
5) Obviously, the name of the station shouldnt be within the actual picture or the filename.
6) The city must be named as well (saying Union Station is not enough, as there are over 40 Union Stations in the US).
7) The station must be a passenger station.

(Credit to Griff for the rules, I hope he doesn't mind).

I'll start.

Here's an easy one:

I guess I'll revive this with a tricky one. Hint: it's in New England.

Is that a hint or a "you are correct"?

a hint. I'll give you a riddle:

I am now just a piece of history,
as my owners tore me down long ago
I spent my days in a town famous for it's part,
in attrocities actually committed in our neighbor's property.
Even so,
my city is very spooky

Nope. It's in MA on the north shore. It's next to my hometown, and they are famous for witches.

If it's in Chicago, I'd say Union Station - been there.
