Railroad Terminal Historic District is a national historic district in Binghamton in Broome County, New York. The district includes 19 contributing buildings. Four of the buildings were directly related to Binghamton's rail passenger and freight operations, including the passenger station. Five buildings were built as warehouses, and ten were built to house retail activities with residential or office uses on the upper floors. The buildings were built between 1876 and 1910, with a major addition to one of them completed in 1932. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad passenger station, with its Italian Renaissance campanile, was built in 1901.[2] Erie Railroad trains also used the station.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

Destinations when the station was in use

From this location there were Lackawanna trains such as the Phobe Snow to Buffalo, New York to the west and Hoboken to the east. Lackawanna trains also served Syracuse, New York and Utica, New York to the north and Scranton, the Poconos and northern New Jersey to the south. Erie Railroad trains such as the Lake Cities and the Erie Limited served Chicago to the west and Jersey City to the east. The last long distance train was on January 6, 1970 when the Lake Cities stopped running.
