Schuyler,

Colvin was Colvin Avenue, a major north-south street in North Buffalo. In
1894 it was a dirt road running through what at that time was called Buffalo
Plains (as North Buffalo was very flat). Attached is a 1910 photo of the
DL&W tracks. The photographer is standing on the Erie tracks looking north.
I wonder if in 1894 enough was there to justify a station.
