The station was built by CB&Q in the 1950's and looked like it had seen better days. The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it.

Reply JoeKrause Member sinceMarch 2003 From: US 8 posts Posted by JoeKrause on Tuesday, June 7, 2005 7:20 AM Rensselaer, Indiana has an Amshack that is pretty discouraging to look at. The old Amshack station in St. Louis wasn't that great but it looks like it had a larger waiting room than the new station. Could someone check that out for us forum watchers, please?

Now, those were ugly. The wood was old and rotten and certainly only the termites holding hands kept the building from falling down.

Mine has to be one that is also in some ways my favorite (due to it being very old and still serving passengers on a daily basis...actually about eight to ten times a day....STURTEVANT, WISCONSIN[xx(] PS: They really should do something about the Sturtevant station before it falls down on top of somebody.
