(erielack) Re: Buffalo DL&W Terminal Bush Trainshed

I rode my bicycle up the embankment, through the trainshed and into the
headhouse of the terminal back in 1979 before it was demolished. It was a a
complete disaster area by then. Many photos of it from 1971 can be seen on the
LOC's HAER website at http://memory.loc.gov by searching for Buffalo
Lackawanna Terminal. It was in even worse shape when I was in there.

The station building and concourse were torn down years ago when the Niagara Frontier Transportation Agency converted the lower level baggage area into the service area for its light rail cars. The upper level train shed with its Bush style roof still has great potential if the surrounding industrial area is restored as part of the nearby Erie Canal Cobblestone District.
