Union Station (Lockport, New York)

Union Station is the ruin of an historic former train station located at Lockport in Niagara County, New York. It was constructed in 1889, for the New York Central Railroad (NYC) in the Romanesque style. The station served the NYC Falls Road line, an East-West corridor connecting Niagara Falls and Rochester, New York. While technically not a "union station" - as no other railroad shared its facilities - it took its local name from its address on Union Street in Lockport. The station was closed when passenger service on the line ended in 1957.

The building was unused until 1967. It was renovated and reopened as a restaurant in 1971. The restaurant was gutted by fire in December 1974, rebuilt and again destroyed by fire in 1978.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

A private owner acquired the building in 2006 and has since spent approximately $250,000 on stabilization measures. The owner plans to retore the building as an operating train station by 2029.

The track along side the station remains in active freight service and is owned by the Falls Road Railroad. The short-lived Niagara & Western New York ran a heritage operation between Lockport and Medina in 2002. As of 2023 the Medina Railroad Museum operated occasional heritage service to Lockport. In 1994, during Conrail ownership, twelve miles (19 km) of track connecting Brockport to Rochester, New York was abandoned. Consequently the Falls Road route now terminates in Brockport, east of Owens Road at Mile Post 16.60.
