Favorite Amtrak Station or Terminal

[Flatman]

Unfortunately it sustained considerable damage. It has been moved so station repairs can be done, and hopefully it can be restored when the insurance question is resolved

IMHO there actually be 4 items that need consideration.

1.  Outside design of the building

2.  Inside layout of terminal and beauty of design. 

3.  Ease of access to board train and platforms.

4.  Platforms themselves. 

    Here are my picks

for #1  Hard to beat Washington Union station or Cincinnati.

for #2  LAX waiting room although it does need more lighting.  Tunnel  to platforms lacking.

for #3  San Diego  Ease of access from both station and light rail.  Dallas comes in a close second.

for #4  Sacremento.  Nice wide platforms great for railfans and the service stop passengers.  Access to platform from station is terrible.

Did not include train waatching possibilities as #5 as not enough experience.

 

 

LAX is an airport.

 

LAUPT is the train terminal in downtown Los Angeles!

Wow, that Flagstaff station is classic!  Pure "railroad," and you could put it anywhere in the country and it would fit right in.
