Terry,

Photos of the old Erie Buffalo depot aere pretty rare. I believe there was one
in the Next Station Will Be book series. Ron Dukarm posted one to the list
back in 2007:

The passenger "headhouse" section of the depot was razed shortly after they
moved over to the LV's terminal.

I believe the main depot proper was used by a freight forwarder and it finally
came down in the early 1960s.

Ron Dukarm sent me this October 1962 photo some years ago. It probably didn't
last much longer after that.
