Randolph, New York
Passenger Station

These photographs show the combination passenger and freight station in Randolph, NY. I don't know when the station in Randolph was constructed, but it was early in the building of the railroad. In the First Annual Report of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway in 1864, William Reynolds, president of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway stated:

"Permanent passenger stations and freight-houses should be erected at Randolph and Jamestown, at which places the present temporary buildings are inadequate"

A February 1930 article in the Erie Railroad Magazine describes a clock which was delivered to the Randolph station on December 18, 1865, which was probably soon after it was built.

This 1909 photo shows the east end of the station.
This photo is from an undated postcard shows the station from the Main Street crossing just to the west of the station.
This undated photo shows the station from the same angle. Notice the change in color just past the bay window. The freight area on the far end was an addition to the original, smaller station.
This undated photo shows the station in its later years and from the opposite angle of the other photos.  Notice that the concrete apron is gone and that the station has been shortened considerably.  The station was torn down in the early(?) 1980s and all that remains is a vacant and overgrown lot.
This undated postcard shows the station.
This 1906 postcard shows the station from the west side, likely from the roof of the furniture factory on the other side of Main Street.
