Greetings all!  I am in dire need of some pictures of real train stations that either had or still have arcade type games in them.  The earlier the picture the better, the older the station, the better, too.  I can't imagine that train stations didn't have some sort of gaming devices or arcade games, trade stimulators, pinball, video games, etc. in them at some point.  Just think of the captive audience with nothing but a little time on their hands.  I did find a print ad for an old gaming device, a type of pinball machine, that shows two guys playing a game and the conductor trying to get them to stop and get on board.  Very novel idea.  Now I need the real picture.  I also have one picture of what looks like the old type of hand crank movie machines that used to show "girlie movies" but I think the pic is from the train station in Walt Disney World.

 

If you have ANYTHING at all, please send to: tom@choochoobarn.com

 

Thanks for your time.

Union station in Chicago had an arcade during the video game glory days in the early 1980s.There was a Gary Coleman movie from that era where he lived in the station.The arcade is featured in the movie.Union station still had a small arcade until around 2008.

Are you looking for some train related arcade games?There were a few good ones over the years.I can send the information to you if you want.
