No overhead electric wires Date: 05/15/16 15:48 Re: For Mr.Refarkas Author: refarkas Thanks for posting this. You caught it as Lackawanna 813. That goes back even farther than my images. She certainly did look great.
Bob Date: 05/15/16 17:10 Re: For Mr.Refarkas Author: rbenko Definitely Buffalo
I color-corrected and cleaned it up a bit. Neat shot - I haven't seen many from Buffalo in the Lackawanna era (although this could be early EL). The train sheds in Buffalo still exist, albeit without tracks - the lower level is used as Buffalo Metro's storage facility - check it out below on Google Maps: Google Maps link Date: 05/16/16 04:57 Re: For Mr.Refarkas Author: JPB Excellent photo! NKP also used this station, no?
Here's a 1971 aerial view: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFTA_Rail_Maintenance_Yard#/media/File:Lackawanna_Terminal_Buffalo_LOC_HAER_116325.jpg And a 1963 aerial view from the opposite end: http://i.imgur.com/sUyaxgg.jpg From an NKP-DL&W passenger train perspective, was this terminal stub ended? According to June 1954 Official Guide, DL&W trains 2 (Pocono Express) and 5 (Twilight) interchanged Hoboken from/to Detroit Pullman cars with NYC 44 (New York Special) and NYC 47 (The Detroiter), respectively. Did NYC train run via the DL&W terminal using the through tracks that headed toward Black Rock, Ft Erie, etc? Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 05/16/16 05:19 by JPB.

Closed in October 1962 and what pasenger service remained was relocated to a spartan facility at remote 515 Bacock Street, essentially a cinder block yard office with some passenger space. NKP (by then N&W) passenger service ended in September 1965; the last EL passenger trains in June 1969.
