Broome County's most unusual and ambitious upcoming relocation project will involve transporting the historic Erie-Lackawanna Train Station across the Vestal Parkway.
Back to the Past: Vestal Museum Moving Project Rescheduled
The planned relocation of the historic railroad station that s home to the Vestal town museum has been delayed.
The building was constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in 1881. It was moved to its current site near the town library on the Vestal Parkway in 1972.
Museum director Cherese Rosales said the relocation project now is planned for next year.

Rosales said the former railroad station building is to be moved to a spot east of the coal house near the rail trail off Main Street.
