Amtrak will rename its train station in Rochester, N.Y., after the late Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), who died last week after representing the area for decades.
The rail company announced Wednesday that the station will be renamed “Louise M. Slaughter Intermodal Station in Rochester.” The congresswoman worked to secure funding for the new station in the city, which was completed last fall.
"To celebrate her legacy and impact on the station, City of Rochester, and State of New York, we are pleased to announce that we will be naming Rochester Station in her honor through a commemorative plaque at the station or other appropriate means,” Amtrak Board Chairman Anthony Coscia said in a statement.
