__NOTOC__ The Rome Amtrak station is an Neoclassical train station served by Amtrak. It is located on 6599 Martin Street in Rome, New York between the NY 26-49-69 bridge and Mill Road south of the Erie Canal. The current station was built between 1912 and 1914 by the New York Central Railroad south of the city proper to replace the former structure downtown.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rome, NY (ROM) )〕 Such a move was necessitated by a track realignment. The one and a half-story brick building was constructed in a Neoclassical style and includes columns flanking the vestibules, decorative grillwork and large arched windows. The waiting room includes a bowed ticket window and a series of delicate triple-globed bronze chandeliers. At the rear of the waiting room are paired symmetrical staircases with ornate openwork iron railings up to the near platform. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rome Station )〕 In 1988, Amtrak conveyed the station to the city of Rome. Amtrak proposed to close the station in 1996, but the city resisted and instead found federal funds to renovate the station. The $4 million reconstruction was finished in 2004.〔 The station has an unusual configuration because the station building is located at grade while the tracks are on a raised embankment. The center platform is accessed by an under-track passage; both were constructed in 2002.〔 A side platform, now abandoned, is accessed directly from the building's second story. The platform includes enclosed passenger shelters and is heated to obviate the need for snow removal.〔 == Service == Four ''Empire Service'' trains (two westbound to Niagara Falls and two eastbound to Penn Station in New York City) stop at Rome, as do a pair of ''Maple Leaf'' trains (one eastbound, one westbound) between Penn Station and Toronto Union Station for a total of six daily departures. CENTRO of Oneida's Rome bus routes 4 and 7 also stop at the station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rome (Amtrak station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
