The Boehlert Transportation Center at Union Station
The Boehlert Transportation Center at Union Station is a train station served by Amtrak and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad in Utica, New York. It's named after retired U.S. Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, and owned by Oneida County.
This station replaced a structure from 1869. This was a massive undertaking in 1912 as they had to reroute the Mohawk River due to flooding issues. When it was finished in 1915, it offered a waiting room with a 47-foot-high vaulted ceiling with 34 marble columns, three ticket windows, an information office, 15 pay telephones, a Western Union office, two shoeshine stands, and a bar and grill.
