"The 1851 charter for the construction of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad provided the means for a strategic link between the two major trunk lines through the State, the Erie Railroad at Binghamton, and the New York Central at Albany. With it came the potential for a highly profitable line carrying coal from Pennsylvania to the industrial centers of the upper Hudson valley and Champlain basin. By 1865 construction of the 142-mile line reached Unadilla; the railroad was complete by 1869 with the construction of the extensive tunnel at Beldon, 25 miles southwest of Unadilla. The original stone freight depot, constructed in 1866 survives; the original small stone passenger depot was replaced with the present larger frame structure in 1903."
