Demolished! 11 Beautiful Train Stations That Fell To The Wrecking Ball. Above, NY Central Railroad Station, Rochester, NY. “The elaborate curved brick exterior made a prominent mark on downtown. But the decline in passenger traffic emptied the station by the late 1950s, and the building was razed in 1965.”  Not the most beautiful building in the list, but shown here because I have been to the replacement station many times but had never seen a picture of the original.
