i found this site back a few months ago, but i didn't favorite it, i spent the next three months looking for this site, i'm glad i did. Brilliant photos.

I think I could squeeze in there and find out whats on the other side.....or maybe not.

Don't you mean the lighting and the DEcomposition?
Har har har...

The scaffolding might have been from when they placed Plexiglas over all the windows of admin and the sandstone wards.

I'm the unknown person who wrote that last year.

All the orginal benches are all gone in this station. The doors are in the worst shape of there lives. The ticket windows are still there put in poor codition.

I might be buying the Station Platforms and make it a non profit organization. I was thinking of calling it NYC Platforms Preservation Corporation.

This office is near the street car lobby by Curtis Street.

The main concourse is alot better now when this picture was taken. They did bring the clock back in the terminal but it is now in a bank.

This was the old Curtis Street Entrance. This ran beneath the concourse and had underground tunnels used for baggage, offices, and entrances to the concourse. If you go there now the whole ceiling has fallen to the ground.

Well Clare, the statue of the the original buffalo was a real stuffed one and they had to remove it from the terminal because WWII soldiers would rub its fur for good look and the hide was coming off. It is now at the Buffalo Science Muesum. The bronze one that you knew smashed because the former owner backed up into it with his truck. Smashed in a million pieces.

Recently they made a very cool scary movie here at the terminal called Prison Of The Psychotic Damned. It is really good.

Back then they wanted the masses to be proud of their accomplishment. This was the largest power plant of it's day, a temple to the great god of electricity. Of course they wasted no effort or expense melding utilitarianisim with asthetics.

On a recent Terminal visit they filled in all the loading platforms in the Railway Express building. Now all the tracks in this building are now gone.

Those lights on the board to the right of him are lit up! What are those monitoring? Are they tied into the transformers that are still running?
