 Saco ME (SAO)
Saco Transportation Center, also referred to as Saco or Saco–Biddeford in some timetables, is a passenger transportation station in Saco, Maine served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system, and other transportation providers. On average, about 110 passengers daily board or detrain Amtrak's Downeaster service at the station, making it the third-busiest stop in Maine.

The train platform was constructed in 2001, and the station building was constructed in 2008 and opened in 2009. The station is notable for being the first green design train station in the U.S., featuring a wind turbine for electricity, geothermal heating and cooling systems, and a roof made from recycled soda bottles.

The station is located next to the Pan Am Railways mainline, formerly the Western Route mainline of the Boston & Maine Railroad.

 Salem OR (SLM)
from the southbound Starlight

It is served by the Amtrak Cascades and the Coast Starlight passenger trains.

This station was constructed for the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1918 and is the third station to be built at this location.

The current Beaux-Arts-style structure was constructed of masonry and is one of five masonry depots that still exist along the original Southern Pacific West Coast line. The other depots are in Albany, Medford, Roseburg and Eugene.
A restoration project by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) was completed in 2000.

The station and baggage depot were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 2010. In 2011, daily ridership on Amtrak between Salem and Portland reached 24,146 boardings.

Salisbury NC (SAL)
The Salisbury Amtrak Station, located in Salisbury, North Carolina, is served by three passenger trains. (Crescent, Carolinian and Piedmont) It is located in the heart of historic downtown Salisbury.
The station was constructed in 1908 by the Southern Railroad and was designed by Frank P. Milburn in the Spanish Mission Style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, but was nearly demolished until it was bought by the Historic Salisbury Foundation
in 1984.

Renovations began in 1993 and were
completed by 1996, although NCDOT
gave the foundation extra funding in
1999 to enlarge the waiting room.

 St. Louis and Amtrak have reached an agreement on construction of a new
station. The station is designed to accommodate exiting light rail, greyhound, city busses and the proposed high-speed trains to Chicago. No idea about AmtrakExpress equipment. Attached is a jpg from St. Louis
City's website. It will be where the current 'Amshack' is. No idea on construction, supposedly track realignment studies are in the works.

Sturtevant WI (STV)

Sturtevant WI station opened for service on August 14, 2006. The facility accommodates travelers who use the Hiawatha Service between Chicago Union Station and the Milwaukee Intermodal Station, and sees fourteen daily arrivals, seven each from Milwaukee and Chicago. Located along tracks owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The station was constructed as a replacement for the Milwaukee Road's 1901 Sturtevant depot at 2904 Wisconsin Street, which has since been moved from its former location to Caledonia by October 2009.
