Railroad Terminal Historic District is a national
historic district in
Binghamton in
Broome County, New York. The district includes 19 contributing buildings. Four of the buildings were directly related to Binghamton's rail passenger and freight operations, including the passenger station. Five buildings were built as warehouses, and ten were built to house retail activities with residential or office uses on the upper floors. The buildings were built between 1876 and 1910, with a major addition to one of them completed in 1932. This
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad passenger station, with its
Italian Renaissancecampanile, was built in 1901.[2][3] For most years of passenger service to Binghamton,
Delaware and Hudson Railway and
Erie Railroad trains used a different station 150 yards away.[4]
Erie Railroad trains joined the DL&W trains at the station in 1958.[6] Trains such as the Lake Cities, the Erie Limited and the Atlantic Express/Pacific Express served
Chicago to the west and Hoboken to the east. (Erie trains that year also stopped using the company's Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City.)[7] The last long distance train was on January 6, 1970 when the Lake Cities stopped running.[8]
