The Lake Placid Station is a former New York Central Railroad station, originally built by the Delaware and Hudson Railway, in Lake Placid, New York.
In the post-World War II period, the NYC's North Star train,[2] and later, the Iroquois, provided direct sleeping car service from New York City's Grand Central Terminal to Lake Placid. On April 24, 1965 the NYC ran its final train on the route.[3]<ref>Gove, William. 'Logging Railroads in the Adirondacks,' Syracuse, NY: 2006, p. 71.</ref)
