Information About

Albany-rensselaer (amtrak Station)




The current structure dates to October 2002 and features a Coffee Beanery coffeeshop, a newsstand, and a Post Office . This structure replaced the adjacent 1968 terminal, which is now used as office space by Amtrak . Prior to 1968, trains stopped at Albany's ''Union Station'', a building now housing the northeast headquarters of Bank Of America (via predecessors FleetBoston Financial and Norstar Bank ). The New York Central Railroad had plans to leave Albany beforehand, but it was under Penn Central 's watch that the move took place.

The Albany-Rensselaer Rail Station is operated by the Capital District Transportation Authority , which has three bus routes serving the station.
