This is the beautifully-restored interior of the Rome, New York passenger station. A few years prior to this photo, the inside of the building was dingy, and a small river of slime was running through the passenger tunnel that connects this waiting room to the platform. The architects and builders of the New York Central System constructed this building in 1912, according to the date on the tunnel floor. The station is currently a stop on Amtrak, and CSX freight trains still rumble on the tracks above.
