(By Danny Yadron NEWS STAFF REPORTER)<\/em> When John Hajduk\u2019s family picked up his grandma from the train station in the 1960s, they met her at the clock.<\/p>\n

And when Ben Hiltz left for Army boot camp in 1964, he met the \u201cguy with the tickets\u201d at the clock.<\/p>\n

It was the common phrase at Buffalo\u2019s Central Terminal during the station\u2019s heyday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeet me at the clock,\u201d said Hiltz, 67, a Town of Tonawanda resident who has spent the past five years cleaning up the dilapidated building. \u201cIt\u2019s something that everyone remembers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Central Terminal curators last week returned the original four-sided timepiece to the main concourse for the building\u2019s 80th birthday party, scheduled Saturday. Fifteen feet tall under a nearly 60-foot ceiling, the chipped and repainted relic doesn\u2019t change much, those involved admit.
