Opening comment
I beleive it's called Buffalo Central Terminal, not station
Which Buffalo in the US is this referring to?! UkPaolo 21:02, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
It opened as "New York Central Terminal" which is what is on the canopies over the entrances. We now refer to the building as the Buffalo Central Terminal.--Derek J. Punaro 14:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Puzzling sentence
Can someone explain what this sentence means?
When the New York Central operated the 20th Century Limited, trains in opposite directions met at Central Station without stopping.
It sounds like they ran into each other. --Jfruh 21:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Through rapid track switching, trains could run right through the terminal from opposing direction on the same line without stopping. This however, does need a citation though. Paranormal Skeptic (talk) 15:13, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway?
The article says that this railway served this station but the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway article says that it never actually ended up serving Buffalo. Who's right? --Jfruh (talk) 03:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- The wikipedia article on the TH&B contradicts several reliable sources that say otherwise. Please see the discussion at Talk:Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway for further details. (Note that many people interpret the guidelines at WP:RS to imply that a wikipedia article should not be used as a source for claims made in another wikipedia article.) 69.115.42.244 (talk) 16:53, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Central Terminal Concourse ?
I don't understand this revert. I used this picture from Commons. Any explanation ? DocteurCosmos (talk) 12:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- I don't understand it either. That is in fact a concourse that leads to the Amtrak Owned Boarding Platform. I took the pic myself, I know that's what it is. Paranormal Skeptic (talk) 15:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
It's not the passenger concourse - it's the city-owned two story mail building. I've been a volunteer for years and confirmed your photo with the CTRC secretary. Further, when we refer to "the concourse" it generally means the main concourse, not the passenger concourse, which is disconnected from the main building. Derek J. Punaro (talk) 03:35, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I have to ask, who is "we"? Most people I know who know the building refer to all of the concourses as concourse. Maybe just change the Caption then to A Concourse? There are several concourses in the facility, the main, and two others that are in disrepair. This concourse in question leads to the Amtrak Owned (But unused) Boarding platform, as per me walking down the length of the building, and researching the uses of the various buildings in the past.
