I'll counter the Newark Penn Station argument and say that its not so sad. Yes, there are homeless people. Yes, there are crazy people. But hey, at least its bustling, and in a city on the rise (albeit slowly). Its a gateway to Devils games, Red Bulls games, and concerts and serviced by myriad rail lines (and a light rail line).
When I think sad, I don't necessarily think Amshacks, I think about large underutilized old beautiful stations that are often falling apart. Some examples would be:
Toledo
Pittsburgh
Indianapolis
Kansas City
New Orleans
Cincinnati
I realize that some of these have been beautifully restored, but their heydeys of rail service are long behind them.
Detroit and Buffalos old terminals would also fit the bill but they're not technically Amtrak anymore.
