AMTRAK – Boehlert Transportation Center-Utica

Utica’s Amtrak station, the Boehlert Transportation Center, is one of the two nearest train stations for travelers heading to the Cooperstown area, along with the Albany-Rensselaer station. It makes a train-and-car trip to Cooperstown possible for anyone who would rather skip the long drive from a distant city.

Both stations are more than an hour’s drive from Cooperstown, so the usual plan is to take a leisurely trip by train and rent a car for the final leg. The Utica station sits in the city’s historic Union Station, a landmark of the Mohawk Valley’s railroad past.
