It looks like there was a second track at one time.

I remember having a friend who lived in Tonawanda on Fletcher Street in the 70s and we would walk up the line to where the real-estate office is now and wait for trains to come by. I knew every landmark on the video.

Love this old critter switcher. So glad ADM donated it and you accepted it. I got a few pics of it sitting in front of the old elevator in Buffalo as was being demolished on January 1, 2023. Are you planning any restoration or uses for this loco? Hope I get to visit your Museum this summer (2024).

Back in the 60's I was kid and I remember all the many and large train yards in the Niagara Falls Area, it was fascinating. Niagara Falls and Buffalo combined were a great major train area that rivaled Chicago.

I wonder how the dome window got broken out at 9:44? Looks pretty serious, although the old lady sitting under it seems unfazed. Did she do it, maybe stood up to fast?:)

Such a disappointment there were no steam locos until minute 17. But it made me realise the dome cars probably only came in with the diseasals as the steam locos would have covered them in soots. Ah well, nostalgia isn’t what used to be.
