I got a copy of the sanborn maps of the Buffalo area last updated in the 1950’s. If I wanted to know what was abandoned in Buffalo after the merger where would I look. I am looking from the 60’s through 76.

Thanks

Chris

Chris,

Trains Magazine from Feb 1976 had a good article on Buffalo, with a large map of the situation at that time. The cover shot was one of the best ever, in my opinion - a night shot of an EL Alco Century at Bison Yard.
