When I lived in the area, I sometimes heard people (who lived near Schenectady) say they were trying to find a ride to or from the Albany train station because they were going to New York. They didn't want to pay for a cab, or the hassle of parking downtown for several days. With a cab to Albany, would it be feasible for you to leave from the Albany station?
It's called "Albany-Rensselaer," because it's just across the river from Albany, in the town of Rensselaer. The Hudson is a very narrow river there (you wouldn't recognize it), so "just across the river" is pretty trivial.
