I came across this picture on the Syracuse University Digital Library. It is listed as the Goshen Station c. 1909. As it has a second floor and is much shorter then the Goshen Station I think the the picture is mislabeled and is some other station on the ML. (of course I've been wrong before) So then what station is it?

That would be the 1858 station depot in Otisville good sir. The other one listed as Goshen is Goshen, note the brick design. :)

When the track realignment occurred at FX (Graham Junction) in 1953, a new route was built and Otisville station took the plunge into history, after 95 years of service. A new station was built in 1954 at the current Otisville station, that was gone by 1976, and well, now you have the current Otisville.

Thanks! I looked at the picture for Otisville and its a picture of Goshen Station. I sent them an email to correct that.
