User:Mitchazenia/Endicott station

Endicott was a former train station in the village of Endicott, Broome County, New York. Located on the Erie Railroad main line, the station was part of the Susquehanna Division, a stretch between Susquehanna, Pennsylvania and Hornell, New York. The station consisted of a single side platform and a two-story wooden station building.

Service in the area began with the opening of the Erie Railroad west of Binghamton, New York on June 1, 1849 in the village of Union. The railroad built a new station at Union c. 1875 before building the first depot in Endicott in 1902 at Oak Hill Avenue. They opened a new station near McKinley Avenue in 1904 and used it until 1936. IBM bought the land for a new building that year. At that point, services were moved back to the Union station site.

1935 rebuild in Union
The property on Rogers Avenue became a target for a new building for International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1934. The station depot would have to be moved to hand the land over to IBM, who owned surrounding property. In order to continue railroad service in Endicott, service would be moved to the former Union station on Liberty Street. Potentially using parts of the Union depot, a new two-story structure would be built at the cost of $45,000 (1935 USD). The offices of the station agent, George Nichols, would be on the second story.
