The Saratoga Springs Amtrak station (SAR) is a train station owned by the Capital District Transportation Authority and operated by Amtrak in Saratoga Springs, New York. It is along the Canadian Pacific Railway.
The station was built in 1956 (although some sources claim it was in 1959) by the Delaware and Hudson Railway, as a replacement for an 1880-built structure at another location, which currently serves as a private residence. [1] [2] It was rehabilitated in 2004. The 6,400 square foot passenger area contains a coffee shop/newsstand, murals, an automated teller machine, a visitors information kiosk, outside patio area and benches, and a children’s play area.
