Snapshot - June 2026

A EB passes Amsterdam, NY station on the morning of May 28, 2026. There really was no sun on this day but the light was still good. It began to rain before we left.

This months snapshot is of Don Janes and I visiting Amsterdam, NY. This is a nice place to sit and watch trains at the depot with a nice view of the river when trains are not in the picture. The station was open on our visit which is a newer style of structure with washrooms available. There are a couple of nice benches to rest on right on the platform. Here is what we saw in a short visit both going and leaving the Springfield RPM...George Dutka  

The Amsterdam, NY station is a smaller structure but well kept. Note the flowers out front trackside. May 28, 2026.

There are two Amsterdam signs one can maybe get into a photo.

During the later afternoon an EB comes around the curve as the west end of the station. A nicer lit shot would be in the morning looking this way.

There are two benches on the platform. Don and I spent sometime on our way to the RPM sitting on them waiting for trains. What we got was some rain so we had to leave.

The EB Maple Leaf arrives at the station. Note the stepping boxes that are in place all the time.
