I thought a thread with Pics of RR Stations only would be interesting.[^o)] I don’t mind going a bit out of my way to get one. Post’em if ya got’em.
Here is an active station on Vancouver Island. It kind of reminds me of that little Atlas Station we all seem to own.[(-D]
Brent
Brent, it is still a active station?
Kind of a timely posting for me, after the Kitchen floor is done I will be working on the passenger station. The one I have came off E Bay and was built and I was wondering if it was built wrong. Side with the platform has the ticket window, the side that would go to the parking lot just has some sliding doors. I guess that is correct.
Looking forward to other pictures.

I think there’s two trains a day. Here’s a couple of U-Tube videos I found.

Brent, more timely yet. Doing a old RDC car, better idea of where to mount the lights. Thanks!

OK! Here ya go…
This is the station/depot at Industry found in Rush NY. It was a passenger Station for the Erie RR way back when. There have been 2 stations on the spot, this being the newest. It was built in 1909 and is a bit unusual for that time period as it has 2 waiting rooms. It served both the rural area of Rush, NY and Industry State School for Boys (Youth Prison). One waiting room was just for the prisoners being brought in, and the other was for everyone else. Many earlier stations, including the original here, had 2 waiting rooms, one for Women and Children, and one for men. It has been restored (currently undergoing external repainting) and is a part of the Rochester and Genesee Valley RR Museum.

Below is a picture of a B&O station in Winchester, VA. I don’t when it was built but it was pre Civil War.
It is now used as a CSX yard office.
Walthers has a built up station which looks very much like this
This is the first picture I’ve tried to post since the update and something tells me I haven’t done it correctly.

Batman, this is a great thread, Thanks!
I’m researching one that was in my home town that was torn down just before I was born. I will be going to the City offices, as they may have some original pix that have been copied & displayed in some local establishments. My town was on the MILW line & had their standard station with the breezeway, but with a unique circular brick chimney. However, more research is needed & I hope to do it soon.
All, some great posts, of great Depots/Stations! These are really neat structures!
Thanks again!
Here’s a picture of the depot in my town, Mankato MN. This was the CNW/Omaha Road Union depot. It’s no longer used for anything railroad related but at least it’s still standing.
Here’s my version so far. I still have quite a bit to do to finish it. I called this good enough for now so I could move on to another area of the layout.[:)]
Great Idea for a thread.
Here is how Nasville, TN Union Station looks today. It has a hotel and a restaurant now.
Another source of railroad station pictures: the HABS/HAER (Historical American Building Survey/Historical American Engineering Records) section of the Library of Congress web page.
Here is their search page: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/habs_haer/hhquery.html
Try entering railroad station and selecting “all these words” or “this exact phrase” in the drop down box below, before searching.
You will find pictures of quite a few railroad stations, often shown from many angles and sometimes also including building plans and descriptive text

Some years ago the parking lot on the right (the site of the original platforms) was covered by a large, arched wooden train shed. It burned down under somewhat mysterious circumstances while a debate was going on about whether or not it should be repaired or razed.

Depots? I got lottsa depots.
Scratchbuilt station on my dismantled East Texas layout, based on extended #1 standard Santa Fe depot with raised freight house.
Santa Fe station and office building in Galveston ca. 1978 before it became the railroad museum, as seen from the Strand. I would say the main station on my new Island Seaport layout will be “based on” this station but not necessarily follow the prototype closely.
Santa Fe depot just west of Brazos River, about 40 miles NW of Galveston. ca. 1980
Santa Fe depot in Alvin, Texas, onetime home of baseball player Nolan Ryan (the town, not the depot)
Texas Mexican depot, blt ca 1882 in Laredo, Texas. 1987 photo.
Jess Patton gave me this snapshot of the then MoPac depot in Corpus Christi, Texas he snapped in 1949.
The Bangor Maine Union Station was built in 1895 and was shared by Maine Central and Bangor and Aroostook Railroads. Most of these photos are from old postcards I photographed from the collection at the Bangor Public Library with permission.
This is a construction photo from around 1895
and an early 1900s picture, note the ‘modern’ transport waiting in the parking lot

The track side of the station looking North from the Kenduskeag River bridge, date unknown
A 1950s photo of a steam powered passenger train leaving the station
The station was demolished in the mid 1960s in a federally sponsored program called “Urban Renewal” which was supposed to remove “blighted” structures and replace with something new and modern - in this case a mini-mall.
Penn Station looked much better than Madison Square Gardens will ever look.
North Hollywood station was used by both the Pacific Electric and Southern Pacific Railroad.

Burbank Depot 1964.
I took measurements of the prototype and built the model of styrene. It was on my build list for 40 years later.
Well, after help from the forum I posted a picture so I’m trying to post the one I tried earlier.

Hopefully we will see atleast one picture.

This is the former Colorado & Southern depot in Silver Plume, CO. Now a terminal of the Georgetown Loop tourist RR.
And this is my O-scale model of the same.
