Re: (rshsdepot) New Orleans station site

I was wrong, that site did have images, but only one station picture
(actually there were a lot of the station built in 1954..
This page will show you a nice photo of IC Union Station, and in the info
below the picture tell of when the various different RRs used it after it
was built in 1892:

To the question, I guess saying the LIRR using two terminals in NYC is not
fair answer (Brooklyn and Penn State today, and once Delancey/Chambers
Streets, Brooklyn and Long Island City, Sands Street Station and Long Island
City, maybe other combinations I am forgetting...If we count Manhattan ferry
terminals, SL&W, Erie, NYC and PRR would have once been at various
terminals...

But I can't really think of another one...did the LV ever go to both their
own terminal and CNJs both in Jersey City at same time?...what about in
Seattle?

Which was the railroad that had two stations in Coney Island akin to the PRR
in Philly? I will figure it out tomorrow...
The NYCentral used to have two terminals in Manhattan, the LIRR has two in
Queens....I am really searching now
