Niagara Falls to unveil Amtrak station before Amtrak signs lease

 


The signs are up, and the new “Amtrak” train station at 825 Depot St. is being officially unveiled to the public on Saturday. The only thing missing is a lease with the major tenant of the train station - Amtrak.

New train station in Niagara Falls


A new $44 million dollar train station is coming to the north end of the City of Niagara Falls.

Saturday, the City held an open house for the new station. Amtrak brought in a ceremonial train for the celebration -- although it has yet to sign a lease to begin using the new train station.

It looks big and spacious like Albany/Rensselear. Now if only there could be dedicated (perhaps even "Thruway" type) connections between that station and where people need to go, namely the Falls area where the hotels and attractions are. There is a city bus between the two, but there needs to be something more seamless and comfortable for those travelling with luggage. And to my knowledge I don't think any of the hotels on the New York side of the Falls have shuttles that go to the Amtrak station.

It was an exciting moment for those on hand Tuesday morning as the first passenger train pulled up to the new Niagara Falls International Train Station.

Yesterday at 10 am, a mere 24 hours after the politicians and local media welcomed the first Amtrak train to the new Niagara Falls International Train Station, Intermodal Transportation Center and Customhouse Interpretive Center (“NFITSITCCIC”), we dropped in to snap some photos.
