I'm trying to upload an image of a disused RR station on an abandoned line. There are no locomotives in the photo. I keep getting hung up on the lack of a locomotive with the request that I fill in the information and try again.

Is there a correct way to upload an image of rail road structures and equipment that do not feature a locomotive?

Select the option "Other (enter below)". Instead of entering the train type as you normally would you enter "Station" or "Unknown" or something like that.

Your welcome!

Impressive station! Are there many stations like that or are most stations small concrete boxes? In the Netherlands we got quite a few impressive stations but the smaller places tend to have a standardized concrete box with a few chairs. Often not even a sales/service desk! Merely a ticket machine.

The big cities have some cool stations here.

Except for Ottawa....one big glass and steel box:

Our other station here, Fallowfield VIA Station, is small but a lot better-looking:

Thank you Ice, I knew there must be a way to display the opened file. Last year I did the transcontinental run on VIA's premier train, #1 The Canadian, from Toronto to Vancouver. Wonderful trip, many photo opportunities, and an abundance of luxurious railroad hotels. Unfortunantely, many wonderful stations have been replaced by glass boxes in Canada-Edmunton is one such example. Whereas I am told the train used to loop through downtown to the original station, they now have to make a time-consuming reverse move into the glass box built way out of town. That's progress, I guess.

Hey Tom,

no problem

But I was wondering. How many tracks does Edmonton station have? Isn't the Canadian the only train that goes through there? So, it's like 1 train every 2 days, or something like that. Which means they probably only need 1 track, making it a rather small station. I thought all of VIA's new small stations look like Fallowfield, Dorval, Moncton, etc. You know, the typical red roof mondern-traditional style.

If you have any picutres of Edmonton station, that would help too. :D
