We're Looking for a Few Good Stations

A short photo essay by Bill Lindley

What makes a successful train station? Here are a few thoughts.


Looks inviting from the outside.


Comfortable on the inside. Chairs, snacks, brochures of local attractions.


Connections to local transit. Above is San Diego's Santa Fe station, where you can catch Amtrak's San Diegan, the Coaster regional rail train, and the San Diego Trolley.


Information. Here's El Paso's Union Depot bus information.
