One thing to remember: Buffalo was, and probably still is, the second largest city in New York State. There was a lot of commerce between the two cities so trains originating or terminating there was a common practices. In later years CR ran "Empire Service" something similar to what Amtrak still does. I suspect that NYC's second largest passenger source was Buffalo.
