The Plattsburgh station was opened in 1886, previously used as a Delaware and Hudson Railway Depot,[4] and was designed by Albany architects Fuller & Wheeler,[5] in the French Provincial style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1982 as the D & H Railroad Complex.[6] Currently Amtrak only uses a small office downstairs at track level while the above space holds law offices, a media production business, and financial investment offices.

The station has no intercity bus connections. Greyhound Lines and Trailways of New York stop near the U.S. Route 9 / Interstate 87 interchange north of Plattsburgh, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) from the station.[7]
