Station Improvement:
On August 21, 2013, city and Amtrak officials and local residents gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the opening of a new passenger shelter at Rensselaer.

The new brick facility replaces an earlier shelter erected in 1979 that was later cared for by volunteers from the Lions Club.
