The current "station" is about as glorious as a greyhound stop in some small town and is an afterthought on the backside of the skyscraper. So what was once a station with out of the weather direct access to the L station is now a half blosk south. |

The current station reminds me of other bare-bones terminals like the former Weehawken Terminal in New Jersey, for the NY Central. |

Very similar butcher job was done for rail passengers at Montreal's Windsor Station. The original headhouse is being restored though. |

At least they didn't keep the old name after "Terminus Windsor" became confusing; it became "Gare de Lucien L'Allier". The station platforms are not sheltered, in contrast with Windsor's Lincoln Bush shed. |

No amenities there either. It would be a simpler, and likely faster routing for the Adirondack if is took the CP all the way in. It's about a 10 minute walk to Gare Central. I think it can be done all underground. |
