The back of the garage door into the luggage area as an Amfleet Train coming from Springfield finishes discharging its passengers
A Northeast Regional train and a Moving Truck to help with moving the materials needed for the station staff since the station closes tonight
The platform area in front of a terminating Northeast Regional train
The northern end of the platform with a picnic table, the long Northeast Regional Train exceeds the length of the darkened platform
The mobile lift out in the open on the below track-level platform with lots of steps and stools
P42 #117 slowly pushes the last Northeast Regional Train north towards the new station. This is a super unique move, previously the train continued beyond the station to wye in the CSX yard near the port
P42 #117 passes the AmStation one last time as the train backs up to head to the new station and use the wye for the first time so it can be the first train out from the new station tomorrow morning at 5:00am
P42 #117 fades into the distance
Looking south down the now empty and dark platform, just a few LED lights
The silver steps that will never see a train again at Newport News as the last passengers wait for rides
Inside the depot one last time before the lights are turned off and it’s locked for good after 42 years in service, the brown floor tiles of the 1980s not aging well
The ticket office with modernized blue wall with a silver Amtrak logo, the rear garage service door of the station has been opened and the parking lot is visible
The ticket office and a Coming Soon sign for the new depot at 500 B Bland Blvd
The Ticket Office Hours (split shift with a small closure in the middle of the day) and Coming Soon sign
The modern blue Amtrak logo on the side of the depot
The moving truck parked outside the station and movers help station staff move all the office materials to the new station for its opening tomorrow. An Amtrak staff member empties the employee fridge for the last time
One corner of the station house and the open door into the back of the station (originally used for baggage service)
The door from the platform into the AmStation
Benches outside the station beneath the main waiting room windows
Looking back towards the AmStation at a long exposure shot from the picnic table at the northern end of the platform
