Rensselaer was once a classic American railroad town and like most cities and towns of its type, it was part of an important junction of several destinations. From the 1840s to today, trains have rolled to the four principal compass points from the town. Located across the Hudson River from Albany, Rensselaer has seen a rich array of locomotives, structures and notable trains, all helping to establish Rensselaer's rail prominence and the industry's importance to and involvement in the community, Today Rensselaer hosts the Albany Amtrak station, which sees an average of 775,000 passengers annually and is ranked as the 10th busy station in the US.
