I am not talking relocations in a given city, but cities that got a brand new station that didn't have one prior to 5/1/71.

All had extant stations on A-Day, and Amtrak used those stations for varying periods of time.
St Louis
Omaha
Salt Lake City
I’m actually a little surprised Amtrak didn’t ask for an Amshack in Denver...

The current building is actually the third. The very modest 1953 building was replaced by a nice little brick building in 1965, which in turn gave way to the modern structure that is there now.

Beltway and Metropark would follow.

(Haverhill had commuter service until 1976 and after 1979; several Cape Cod stops were served by a short-lived commuter line from 1984 to 1988.) Substantial station buildings have been constructed at Saco, Wells, Portland, and Greenfield, plus a large shelter at Wareham. Other stops on those lines either got a small platform shelter, or reused a historic station.Add Brunswick (BRK) to the "substantial new stations" list.
