    Alexandria New York Central Depot Mid 1950s
    I have no recollection of this depot at all as I never rode the NYC north nor do I recall driving past it as a teen when I went to the skating rink in Alex. John Reehling mentions this station briefly in his memories.

    Ok, here is a drawing of the Alexandria Station before it was built. Great drawing from 1893[​IMG].

    I assume this was Alexandria, IN. Does this building and rail line still exist?

    Cool, Roger. I never got to the Big Four on the system, strictly NY state, so was unfamiliar with Alexandria.

    The rail line now belongs to NS. The station has been gone for many years.
