Can anyone offer any ideas on how the EL (and NKP) could have moved into 
Central Terminal?  Would the tracks have permitted that?

The NKP from the west could switch over from (or to) NYC tracks at numerous 
places.

I just don't know how the EL tracks would mesh with the NYC on the east 
side of Buffalo.
