Remsen station is an historic train station in Remsen, New York. It serves as a flag stop on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad and has been serving trains since the 19th century.

History

The station in the early 1900s

In December, 1855, the railway tracks from Utica to Boonville were built by the Black River & Utica Railroad. That railway underwent a foreclosure sale in 1958 and was reorganized as the Utica & Black River Railroad.[1]

In 1999, the station was rebuilt on the same site and to the same plans as the original station. The station currently serves the Adirondack Scenic Railroad.
