Time and decay was wrapping their fingers around this magnificent structure. I hope those who are restoring this has had a chance to halt & reverse it's progress. Still, breathtaking beauty on a grand scale.

@ Momma: Yep, I see the Ying & Yang on the wall. Good eye. I would have never caught that.

Designed to make a beautiful first impression of the City of Buffalo. This terminal did it well.

I agree Phiftybuick. The craftsmanship is incredible. All this was built by hand using 1920s technology and tools. No computers or CAD. Just a steady eye and talented artist.

Very interesting. Something that caught my eye was the Art Deco sign in the background that read "Rest Rooms." That's carved into the wall with gold inlay. Wow. Such attention to detail.

This would beautiful restored with the blue paint & gold lettering. I wonder what was kept in there over the years.

DaveWilly, exactly right. My Dad was a big fan of steam engines and we saw these slots a lot. Nice photos, Mr. Motts, once again (I am a fan).

With the basked and garbage bag it even looks like the homeless tidy up after themselves. Great shots!

Much appreciated addition! Not sure if you ever get tired of hearing the same compliments, but your effort is definitley a bright spot in many people's day. Keep 'em coming. Thanks once again...

So Sorry! Ironwork it is! Good Grief! I was thinking how beautiful it was and that it looked like woodwork, and typed in wood instead of Iron.

great history in world

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Mr. Motts! You have made my Tuesday a lot better now. :)

Fabulous job, as usual, with the pictures. You don't just take pictures...you create works of art. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

You have my eternal respect and I will be eagerly awaiting more photos! :)

I personally LOVE trains (we have a steam-engine train for passenger tours and we also have freight trains that still run though our city and the tracks are actually only about a block or so down from my house!) and I too am distressed to see how little they are used compared to in the past. I think they are TRYING to revive that mode of shipping though now. I swear I saw a commercial to that effect. I love watching the trains go by and feel the ground rumbling as they pass, and feeling the rails to tell if one is coming. I love the old tressle by my house and how if you look down you can see the river below you and how you feel a sense of vertigo. Many kids have earned their "badges" crossing that tressle! :)

WOW! That is some really nice ironwork there. :) I wonder how many man-hours went into creating this masterpiece?

WOW...reminds me of Star Trek! I can see Sulu and Uhura at the controls...Where to Captain?

:) Neat shot!

I like how it appears to be a little tilted and off-kilter. That chair looks like it is waiting for someone...or something. :)
