OLD NEW YORK CENTRAL ROUNDHOUSE, West Seneca, NY

Old New York Central roundhouse, engine house and coaling station.

My brother found out our maternal grandfather worked here as a clerk close to a 100 yrs ago. We’re from Baltimore but our mom was from Buffalo and her dad died in 1937 at 50 so we didn’t know him. Really cool to have this connection to him.

Regardless of which railroad used this facility during the steam locomotive era, it's wonderful to see that a 20-stall roundhouse and its turntable have survived. The coaling tower has been partly demolished, but its presence adds to the atmosphere.

This is the Ebeneser roundhouse built by the PRR and NOT the NYC. It’s off Mineral Springs road and is used even today. 👽

The quality of this video is amazing. Well Done! I don't care for the music, though.

Very Nice Video. My Old Stomping Grounds. Music A Bit Ominous But Interesting Perspective.

Actually, it was former Pennsylvania Railroad, not New York Central.

[@brianberthold3118]

it was built by Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad

[@classic24hrtowingreferrals28]

Maybe they changed the name to protect the innocent..

[@Dachamp2001]

It looks like everything is still intact lol I wonder what RR is running it NS or B&P??

[@LostBridges]

Ns and buffalo Pittsburgh use daily

[@majoralexanderdegtyarev5381]

@@LostBridges Neither, its a private company that builds railcars. NS does pick them up though.

[@maxwellwalcher6420]

would Hudson 5406 be here.

[@brianberthold3118]

Actually is was nether NYC or PRR it was built under the banner Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad

[@robmurdoch7955]

Would that explain the lack of any big high rise (New York city) on any horizon?

[@brianberthold3118]

@@robmurdoch7955 it explains who built it

[@russcarlson7151]

@@robmurdoch7955 NYC in this case stands for New York Central RR. West Seneca, NY is 350+ miles from New York City.

[@michaeljarosz4062]

Rob Murdoch: There is a high rise skyline in this video. Downtown Buffalo is in the distance at 7:24, but we are so far away that it doesn't look like much. On the far left at 7:24 you can barely perceive a tower that stands off by itself. It's the Seneca One tower. It was originally built as the headquarters of Marine Midland Bank and is 530 feet tall.

[@fabio40]

What's it used for now?

[@jgloss1961]

Ebenezer Rail uses it to restore rail cars. That is why you can see some newer buildings also.

[@kevinkwiatkowski7197]

Service steam locos

[@750suzuki]

much better without the soundtrack

[@travelingman484]

A small link to the past sorry I wasn’t born in that era

[@MarkCox73]

Id be using that drone to find P0T

[@jgloss1961]

If the drone flew over a pot field there would be a bullet hole in it.

[@EL-nc1cs]

Very Creepy place.
