Subject: Buffalo Central Terminal Concourse Platform Restoration


I would like to see the Buffalo Central Terminal Concourse/the seven passenger platforms/yard track restored for railroad passenger car storage/bed and breakfast similar to Chatenooga Choo Choo/ and excursion trains to Buffalo.
A meca for the passenger car.  Amtrak owns the 19 acres, leasing it to a construction company. Would it be possible to set up a national fund raising drive to acquire the site from Amtrak.  Possibley various historical societys could adopt a passenger platform.  This could be the world site for the railroad museum.  There is an opportunity to save this important part of our historical heritage but time is running out.
