Rochester is a station on the Empire Service Amtrak line, located in Rochester, New York.

All trains use the platform adjacent to the station building, meaning both eastbound and westbound trains must switch to the southern track. This can cause conflicts with other passenger and freight trains and lead to delays.

The station does not have high-level platforms, meaning passengers must climb several steps to board trains.

The station stands on the site of the 1914 New York Central station designed by Claude Fayette Bragdon.
