New York Central Terminal

Of all the magnificent train stations built in Buffalo at the height of the railroad era (when it was second only to Chicago as a railroad hub), the Central Terminal was the grandest — and it's the only one left standing. The Central Terminal opened for business a few months before the stock market crash of 1929 and served as the gateway to Buffalo for passengers on the New York Central Railroad (and, later, Amtrak) until 1979, when it was shuttered as a cost-cutting measure.
