Jim Kelling shared with the comment: "New York Central Station in Syracuse NY (1936)."

Dennis DeBruler commented on Jim's share
I was surprised to see that the support buildings on the other side of the tracks, including the smokestack, are still standing. https://maps.app.goo.gl/1K6ZELprFBhtRDAC8

I included the intersection of James and Lodi Streets because that landmark is what I used to find the location of the station along I-690.

Was this a predecessor depot?

Looking West. I presume diesel fuel is stored in those three white tanks on the right. (A satellite image shows that there were six thanks here, and it still has five of therm.)

Peter Fleszar posted three photos with the comment: "Then and now - the 1940 DL&W passenger station at Syracuse, NY, USA, now an office building with an addition in front. Bonus, the adjacent replacement Downtown/Armory Square station building for NYS&W/OnTrack, now abandoned awaiting reuse."

Robert DiFiore: That was probably the last major station building the Lackawanna built. Very utilitarian, pretty bland by Lackawanna standards. Looking back on it, 1940 was very late in the game for a new station. And on a branch line to boot.

The roundhouse is in the middle of the left side and the depot is south of the Armory near the right side. Robert's comment above confirms that the DL&W terminated in this town.

Did this Rail Line Event Venue use to be a freight house for the DL&W? I found it while looking for the depot. This building is the reason I added the label "freighthouse" to these notes.
