    Binghamton, NY. Check out the guy straddling the rails. He needs stern safety counseling and all four need hi-vis vests. :)

    Wow, that's cool. I've never been there, but I'm thinking it's gone.

    The Galveston, Houston and Henderson was constructed between 1857 and 1859. It eventually became a joint MKT/Mop line and is now part of UP. When I was in high school in Dickinson, 8 miles up the line from La Marque, the football stadium was adjacent to the tracks right behind the visitors bleachers. The train horns blowing for the crossings near by would drowned out the commentator on the PA. But it was fun to watch trains while at a game.

    Looked up the Santa Fe station in Oklahoma City and it's still there and used by Amtrak, opened in 1934.

    I am trying to picture where the third track would have run. No old right of way seems obvious.

    Union Station, Charleston, SC. Long gone, burned in 1947. It was a stub end terminal that caused delays to hotly-contested New York <=> Miami trains, so it was not replaced. The SAL had already moved out in 1931 to build a station on its mainline. The ACL did the same after the fire and the SOU made do with a small replacement near town; they weren't a competitor in the New York <=> Miami trade.
