Photo spread shown in thrillist.com. Was surprised how many I have been thru as well as some that I thought should have been included in an expanded list

I am guessing the stunning station shown as Utica, is not the one Amtrak uses? Amtrak's website says they don't even have any restrooms at their station, stunning in a different way, I guess...

That is the Beautiful Amtrak Station in Utica Ed! ( ex New York Central)It also serves the Adirondack Scenic Railroad and as the Greyhound Station.

It was rehabbed with Federal Funding and upstairs there are Government Offices.

I waited for the Lake Shore Ltd. to CHI here one winter evening a couple of years ago, and there was a very good Italian Restaurant in the Waiting Room, not sure if its still there? Downtown Utica is pretty dead like lots of Rustbelt Cities!

Those are some really nice stations. I've only seen five of these from the inside. Boy did they screw up Denver. I mean I'm glad they restored it but that train shed looks like an eyesore to me. Thanks for starting the thread.

More importantly - when did Ohio or Amtrak start service between Akron and Cinci?
