Saranac Lake Union Depot
Saranac Lake Union Depot is a former New York Central Railroad station in Saranac Lake, New York. It was built in 1904 by the Delaware and Hudson Railway. In its heyday, the station served several daily trains going north to Malone, New York, on to Montreal, Quebec, and south to Utica, New York and Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Passenger coaches went direct from New York City to Saranac Lake until late 1952 or early 1953. Direct sleeping cars from train such as North Star and then Iroquois continued as late as 1964 to the station.
On April 24, 1965 the NYC ran its final train on the Adirondack Division route through Saranac Lake Union Depot to Utica Union Station.
The station is now served by the Adirondack Scenic Railroad Adirondack High Peaks Wilderness Line tourist train to Lake Placid Station. The station houses historic exhibits, a visitors center and gift shops, where they also sell tickets for the train. During its heyday, the station handled eighteen to twenty scheduled passenger trains per day.
