Saratoga Springs, NY most famous event is Hourse Racing that occurs there every August. The town has recently renovated/rebulit the station building so its now a nice, large modern facility with a painting of the firgures of houses along one wall of it. The station is still staffed for the two departures to New York and one each to Montreal and Rutland per day. The platform is extremely large with grass growing between tracks that have been paved over, but the tops of whitch are still visible. The station must have been at one time a large termionus. The platform is paved at track level with lots of yellow stools lining the platform for easier acess. There is also a wheelchair lift to provide acessable access to the train.
