A Facebook page and website have been setup to support efforts to bring the city’s new Amtrak station to the Buffalo Central Terminal. It’s all under the umbrella of a campaign called All Aboard.
From the campaign’s website:
In light of the recent issues with the downtown City of Buffalo Amtrak station on Exchange Street, a new location is now being studied. The ideal location for the new Amtrak station is at the Central Terminal, built at the most efficient crossing site for all passenger train lines in Western New York.
This iconic, historical, beautiful edifice would spur much needed development on Buffalo’s East side
A key component to bring the station to the Terminal will be you the public.Let your voice be heard. This is a unique opportunity that won’t come around again for a generation. It will help jump start the proposed development for the rest of the Central Terminal.
To get on board, visit the All Aboard’s Facebook page and website:
My fingers are crossed for this. It would be huge for the east side.
It would be. Just gotta keep pushing it.
I really hope that the CT gets restored &
Reused!!
Oh, how I hope this becomes a reality. I believe my grandfather and dad worked out of the terminal when they worked for the railroads on the east side.
This project is long overdue and would be a huge boost to the area and for Amtrak riders. There are so many things that could be part of this renovation/expansion. The tracks still are in use so that is a plus. No other location should be considered. Buffalonians want this terminal to be up and running.
A very exciting prospect!
