The Albany and Susquehanna Railroad rail head reached Sidney on October 22, 1866,[2] and the original station building was erected in 1868. The Albany and Susquehanna would go on to be absorbed into the Delaware and Hudson.[3] The board-and-batten structure was replaced with a modern brick and stone station in 1913.[4] NYO&W passenger service to the station was discontinued in 1929.[5] The D&H ended it on January 24, 1963.[6] The site is now home to a 23-acre Amphenol solar farm.[7]
