Union Station in Chatham, New York, is a Richardsonian Romanesque structure completed in 1887 by the architectural firm Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. Originally built to serve the Boston and Albany Railroad, it later accommodated the New York Central Railroad and the Rutland Railway, functioning as a passenger terminus for the Harlem Line until 1972 and as a freight station until 1976. The station was a crucial junction connecting passengers to Rensselaer, Hudson, Vermont, Pittsfield, and New York City. Today listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building has been repurposed as a branch office of Community Bank, though the active CSX freight mainline running alongside it continues to link Selkirk Yard and Worcester, Massachusetts.
