I am trying to figure out if the young messenger that Fanny tipped at the train station is now famous? Anyone know his name?

That would be the Wester Union Boy in the cast list, played by William 'Billy' Benedict. Here is his IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0070827/

JACK: Never let go, Rose
(she sneezes and drops him.)
ROSE: (after a pause) Oops.

That was at the Brice home when the Western Union Man was, not at the train station.

The OP said "messenger" not Western Union man. Fanny receives flowers from a messenger at the train station for a young African-American man. I do not know the actor's name.

There is a messenger listed in the credits named Robert Christian and also Western Union man who delivered the Telegram from Ziegfield to Mrs. Brice
