Mark -

I am on the e-mailing list for the Buffalo Central Terminal.  I just thought I would forward you the list of upcoming events in case any of your railfans wonder about what is going on in Buffalo.

Hello everybody. Thank you again for a wonderful 2004 season. It was an

extraordinary year, and we are looking forward to 2005.



As you all may know by now a donation from M&T bank, and contributions

to WBEN's clock donation drive has allowed for the CTRC to purchase the

concourse clock for $25,000. All donations will go to the repair,

maintenence, transportation and security of the clock. The clock will be

installed in the concourse for 2005 and unveiled at a press conference

on May 10th (see below for details). Thank you to everyone to

contributed!



Urgent Call for Volunteers: The CTRC Building Committee needs volunteers

to help prepare the building and grounds for the upcoming season. Work

days are planned for April 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30. Work will involve

increasing building security, installing the concourse clock, reparing

plumbing and drains, carpentry projects, and metal work constructing and

installing the mezzanine railing. Tools are helpful: chainsaws, metal
