Well fl al, there is a spot that used to hold a flag pole. If you go to the picture BCT TOWER, if you look to the left you will see a big window with a enterance sign below the large window. Now, on top of the big window you will see a metal rod on top of the window. That used to hold the flag pole. I'll talk to people who run this place to put a flag pole back up. And you very right, it would look much better.
Well I'll talk to you later man. If you need any questions about the terminal or the platforms (maybe mine someday), just leave a comment any where on the Buffalo Central Terminal gallery.
first of all thanks Motts for the bad ass site!!! now for Ozzy - you say your 14 thats great to see our youth so interested in agreat piece of history ! I dont know what school you go to but if its in the city of Buff. you shuold get together with your history teacher and start a collection to put the American Flag back on the roof above the area were Motts took this pic. From all the older pic.s I have seen in the past the flag has been missing for a long time! It would be a great and meanningfull thing to do. the flag thing could happen on say 4th of JULY something to be noticed by a lot of pepole and that s how interest is gain'd witch is what is need'ed your freind fl al !
and you can tell them our awsome ideas. They will love to here them. They need all they need. I'll be at the Terminal at the work sessions in the spring. Maybe you can come and lend a hand.
Do you live in the Buffalo area fl al? And do you really have steam engines and diesals.
Plus I hope Amtrak lets me buy them. Believe it or not I'm 14 years old. I know teenagers destroyed this place but I'm not like that you know. I love trains and historical buildings (that is why I like this site). My grandpa and I went down here and he wanted this property. If the people you bought the main building for $1.00, so can I. I would help this structure look a lot better.
ozzy you know as well as i do we can all chip in and put a new ceiling in for starters BOSIES school students need experience and the board could supply mat. just an idea
