New ROC station

[fair28]

In the local news here, our congressional rep has been working on getting a new train station here for years. It's actually breaking ground. Artist's rendering attached. Local construction company doing the design and build. Good for the local economy. This design is based on the original station which was torn down in 1965. My office is not far from the site, so I'll be following the build as it progresses.....

This is great news! I see the same kind of thing happening at stations in Michigan (ie. Troy, MI, Grand Rapids, MI & soon Dearborn, MI). Hopefully this is a sign that Upstate NY is getting geared up for speedier rail service that is closer to HSR & with greater frequency. Seems like a no-brainer since all off Western NY & Upstate NY can benefit from greater rail service to NYC.

Awesome. Love to see some money being invested in new train stations.

New station will increase interest and get local travelers on trains, I'm glad to see this. The current station is 'functional', but, that's about all I can say about it.
