Soon, passengers will be allowed back in the DL&W train station after more than 50 years. "It's really exciting to know this building is being restabilized and used for another generation," NFTA Assistant Manager of Grants and Development, Ashley Smith, said. [...]
In the early 1960's the building was no longer used as a train station, but around 1980, the NFTA acquired the property. For more than 40 years, the NFTA has been using the station as a train yard and shop.
New walls were built to separate commuter tracks from the train yard. On those walls is hand-painted tile with mosaic inserts of local birds. The work was done by Joan Linder, of Buffalo, to pay homage to the area.
