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.
