I like the rust stains under the windows...kinda looks like blood or something. Maybe I'm just a bit morbid though. =^__^=

Do you ever get weirded out by the random comments that say "Oooh! You're(or "your" for those of us who don't know how to spell) hot!" ? Or do you find them flattering? ^^

My father was employed by the architectural firm and did daily markups of the progress on sets of the plans, which were forwarded to their main office for review.
I remember arriving at the terminal on my way home from basic training at Fort Dix in 1966.
I visited the Conrail offices on one of the upper floors with a friend who worked for the Buffalo Sewer Dept., probably in 1970 or maybe 1972. Managed a short ride in one of the engines that day :-)
My wife and I went to a dance held in the main concourse some years after that. At that time some owner or other was trying to drum up interest in the building and the main concourse was in pretty good shape, but the side rooms were a shambles.
I wonder what ever happened to the huge statue of the Buffalo that used to be in the concourse? I hope it was saved.
Your site is an absolute treasure trove and I really appreciate your efforts.

No comments here yet. Let me be the first one than. Large passages. High ceiling. Definetly used for heavy-duty loads.

We shot our first feature film here in November. A million dollar location for next to nothing. I got to wander about for almost two weeks. At the end of which I was still finding places I hadn't seen before. We could not get into the lower depths as that was flooded and we did not get into the catwalks above, but we were pretty much everywhere else. So sad what has been allowed to happen to this amazing bit of architectural artwork.

fellheimer and wagner were the architects; they had an office in nyc. they subsequently designed a terminal in cincinnati, which is now the cincy museum. the terminal was made for speed and ease of movement or railway traffic....but opening in june of '29, it never got a chance...
