New York, Ontario & Western Station at Oneida, N.Y.





 An early view of a  New York & Oswego Midland train - possibly the first - at the station in Oneida - which was opened to the public on August 14, 1873.  The reason it was so large it housed the Northern Division offices as well as a restaurant. Subsequently an ornate cupola was added to the station.  Passenger service with Trains #9 and #10 between Oneida and Oswego was discontinued on December 15, 1931. The building survived until 1939 when it was closed and demolished. 



Same location about 1909.
