Congressman John McHugh has obtained $95,000 in federal funds to help jump-start efforts to restore the former Delaware and Hudson station in this North Country border village, served by Amtrak’s Adirondack.
Currently Amtrak stops in front of a dilapidated former US Immigration building at the site and officially their website states that the station stop offers only a platform but no shelter, though in reality a room in the this building is usually open for passengers use.
The restoration effort now underway at the former station is estimated to ultimately cost $600,000 and additional funding sources are being sought by the Village and local Chamber of Commerce. The station will eventually become a regional history museum and hopefully will once again accommodate Amtrak passengers when the work is completed.
