I had a chance to check it out Aug10/03 with brutha cool and it was everything and more than it had been hyped to be. The office floors above the main hall are littered with literally tons of old invoices and other somewhat interesting garbage and we came across a couple of old control rooms that ran the train traffic still with alot of old panels and switches. The most interesting part was finding a catwalk that led to a hole in the "floor" that actually turned out to be the place where a large chandalier had at one time looked down on the main hall from the highest point in the ceiling. There's nothing like looking straight down 60 or so feet to the concrete floor below. Its been abandoned since 1979 and has been pretty much stripped of anything valuable but it may actually have a chance to be turned into something viable again. It's good to see the local preservation society cleaning up the old girl and at least doing something positive with it.  Security Measures fences part-time guard 24 hour guard locked gates welded doors wooden boarding alarm and motion detectors  Historical Dates Built: 1929 Closed: 1979  Required Equipment flashlight breathing mask gloves long pants / sleeves towelettes camera  Recommended Equipment  History Opened in 1929 but never really seemed to be used as much as was expected. The depression occured just after it opened and train travel declined post WWII due to automobiles and air travel.  Media Coverage Featured on an episode of "Ghost Hunters".  Future Plans "As a board member of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, I can say that we remain open minded and welcome to plausible reuse ideas. The building was offered to the Seneca Nation for their Buffalo casino, with no interest. There is currently no illegal access to the building. WE WILL PROSECUTE TRESPASSERS. It's real simple to contact us and arrange a tour. If anyone is interested in the public tours and events, all information can be found on our website". ~ Sara Etten" http://www.buffalocentralterminal.org  Stories Driving Miss Nightbird Fri, Aug 19th, 2005 posted by Agent Skelly BCT July 9, 2005 Mon, Jul 11th, 2005 posted by addict Add your own story  Photo Galleries Aug10/03 Sun, Aug 10th, 2003 posted by the duke 10 pictures 8/10/03 Sun, Aug 10th, 2003 posted by Mr. Motts 17 pictures bct then and now Thu, Mar 18th, 2004 posted by elegant 5 pictures BCT - Open House Mon, Jul 12th, 2004 posted by kubrickscube 14 pictures BCT 6-6-04 Thu, Jul 15th, 2004 posted by kubrickscube 22 pictures BCT Trip July 9, 2005 Mon, Jul 11th, 2005 posted by addict 4 pictures Driving Miss Nightbird Thu, Aug 18th, 2005 posted by Agent Skelly 45 pictures Sweet free fruit basket.
