    Wow, I spent a lot of time in Albany during school years in Troy, and I don't remember seeing THAT building. The Taj Mahal?

    How many of these sites still have rail service?

    Very few but luckily many of the towns have found alternative uses or have gone into private hands. Others are near being lost from lack of care...

    That would be the place!

    The Passenger Depot is now on private land and was all boarded up as a storage shed when we were there. When we arrived I took one photo from the street when a man came out of the house and ask if we were D&H Railfans. The depot is deep on his property and invited onto his land and gave us a quick tour around the depot and let me take photos from various angles I would not have gotten otherwise. He also pointed out the Freight depot to us that we didn't even know still existed. I think he told Lisa his life story while I took photos and I thought she was going to kill me when we got back to our car but she got allot of D&H info.

    Lucky fellow! It's great to have an experience like that. Those make being a fan worth while.

    Darren, you're tearing me up here. My sister went to school in Cobleskill, many years ago.

    Darren, if you have any photos of Eagle Bridge, NY, I'd be very grateful. I boarded D&H trains there in 1950-53 because they had a coach which transferred to the New York Central at Albany and on to GCT.

    Am I seeing a train order signal mast, in the roof above the operators bay?

    Yes, what is left of it I should say...

    Here is a photo someone took in 1974 when it was in better shape

    [​IMG]

    In earlier years it was set just outside the station as you can see from this 1928 photo
