Schuyler,
The short answer is, not in a long time.  This is the second of four
stations that have stood in Jamestown.  This one saw service from 1897 to
1926.
I suggest that you look at http://wnyrails.railfan.net/jtn_home.htm  This
site has a lot of good information.
I was back in the Jamestown area last week for my high school reunion and
the "current" station is as sad as ever especially when compared to the ice
rink complex that is being built in the next block north.  Hopefully the
Western New York and Pennsylvania RR will be able to make a go of the
efforts to bring the Erie main line back in to operation.  For more, take a
look at http://www.jamestownrailfan.net/  Hope this helps.
