Subject: ELHS Buffalo convention report...
"DSC_0060_resize.jpg" - image/jpeg, 1800x1200 (24bit)

Sorry this has taken so long, but here's the first part of the Buffalo convention report, mostly in picture form.

Friday, Sept. 20 was the first day, and was a bus tour of the Buffalo region led by EL veterans Devan Lawton and Charlie Bethge.
What a wonderful day, and I'm still impressed by the sheer amount of "stuff" we saw!

Guide to the photos:

0038: Devan Lawton starts the narration
0049: Lower end of Bison Yard
0053, 0054, 0058: The location of what used to be the Babcock St. station that the EL installed in a half-hearted attempt to satisfy
passengers
0060, 00061,0062: The former Erie Buffalo Division headquarters building. Abandoned for many, many years, Devan noted it's slated
for demolition in the not-too-distant future, so we all got photos of every angle of this structure.
0075: Some of the remaining former Erie/EL industrial trackage near Bison Yard
0077: A rolling meet (both trains were moving!) near Bison
0084: remnants of the Erie on this bridge
0088, 0091, 0094: Bison Yard as we crossed over it. The big grassy areas used to be classification tracks in EL days. The auto
facility and intermodal facility both used to be classification tracks as well.
0097: NS train ready to pull out of the auto facility
0099: Charlie Bethge discusses what was once at Bison
0105: One of the many remaining (and abandoned) EL-era light towers in the yard
0118: The last remaining DL&W structure in the yard. I believe this was once a crew office?

More to come....
