The floor here is covered in tons of plaster dust that has fallen off the wall.

It is not just debris, as you can see at the end of the passage the floor is obviously curved! :-)

Thanks Ozzy for the web address to look at the beautiful pictures of the train station in its earlier days. They are absolutely amazing!

Well I have to say that the CTRC have done a great job cleaning up the place. Next time when your in Buffalo, please stop in at the Terminal. The Main Concourse looks a lot better than when you came in. You can only explor the main course because the stairs are closed off to the public and you can only come in at a event or contact them on there website for permission to take photos of the other areas. Just say Ozzy sent you.

Boy, Motts you sure have your fan club, so I'm going to jab a little fun here, b/c aside from the total "I wanna marry you and have your babies" types comments, everyone loves flattery.. If the man didn't KNOW he was good looking he wouldn't post his mug. Yes, we all know he is. But more attractive Motts, is your talent. I started in the arts myself and find your skills even more appealing than your looks & applaud you highly for them. Not only thatm but the research and time you put into your excursions; very commendable.
You lucked out, you've corned the market on both looks and ability so when you're like me, 35 and over the hill you can rest on the laurels of your amazing talent. If I didn't think I was somewhat older than you, i could swear i do know you though - can I pry and ask - Are you a NYer? And did you go to NYU in '90-93/ If you don't mind answering, or havent posted that already . Keep it up. I meant all this in the best of spirit

Update: Went to the Terminal on Tuesday to see which floor I might clean. I might be cleaning the 12th floor for an observation room. It is a long way up those stairs.

Now I just havce to get it approved by the council and I'll be cleaning the 12th floor so people climb the stairs and view the city.

Thank you very much Joseph. Check out the website that was part of the link. The site has full of info and pictures. On the main page you can ask questions about the building or just say any old thing. I have left several comments on the site.

Ozzy: Thank you for the link containg the thirty (30) photographs of this main railway station. This old building is even more beautiful than I had imagined. That one color photo looks to be from the 1970's. But that same color photograph is also disturbing to me. In this photograph there is a woman with a little girl and they are standing extremely close to the train. ( Too close for comfort if you ask me ! ) And they are also standing on the concrete strip that runs in between two rail road tracks. This is not a good place to be.

I went to a safety breifing back in March / 2007 and a General in the Army told us that several American male and female Soldiers have been hit and killed by the trains here in Germany because they were standing too close to the railroad tracks. Apparently these dead Soldiers did not realize that a train, by virtue of it's very nature in structure and design, will physically be greater than the width of the railroad tracks itself.
I can tell you that when the "ICE Trains" in Germany are rolling down the line you better step back from the tracks !!! ( ICE stands for inter city express. ) I have seen the ICE Trains flying down the tracks at 3 O'clock in the morning. And the ICE Trains do not stop at little German towns either. ICE Trains are moving so fast that they will actually create their own wind. It's no joke.

Thank you again.
