According to the Forgotten Buffalo Retro Rewind, Buffalo Central Terminal 1964 & 1970 video slideshow of photos taken in 1964 and 1970 by Robert Long and posted to youtube last summer, the TH&B served Buffalo Central Terminal when the terminal was operating as a New York Central Railroad station. The TH&B name appears on departures signs still posted within the terminal.[1] According to "records" uncovered at Buffalo Central Terminal (BCT) in 1990 both the TH&B and the Lehigh Valley Railroad operated out of BCT.[2] According to Garnet R. Cousins writing in the October 1985 issue of Trains the TH&B was already using the Exchange Street Station in Buffalo, New York when the grand opening of the BCT was held on 22 June 1929.[3] Cousins went on to mention that a newly rebuilt Exchange Street Station in downtown Buffalo "was opened August 2, 1952, when Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo train 372 arrived from Toronto at 12:59 p.m., with 10 cars in charge of an almost-new Canadian Pacific 4-6-2."[3] Cousins also wrote that TH&B service to BCT was made and historically "An era passed on March 23, 1954, with the departure of the last regularly scheduled steam passenger train at the Terminal, Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo train 377 behind 4-6-4 No.501."[3] While it may be accurate to state that as an independent company the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo might not have managed to reach either Buffalo, New York or Toronto, Ontario; it is probably more helpful to point out that, at least as a New York Central subsidiary (which it was from 1895 onward), the TH&B did provide service to both the cities of Buffalo and Toronto. 69.115.42.244 (talk) 16:44, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK this statement is buried well into the first section: "It never built into Toronto or Buffalo, but used its parent companies' trackage to reach the two cities." Perhaps the lead should be reworded. 69.115.42.244 (talk) 16:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
