Awesome information and answers! My thanks to you all for them.
Pardon my ignorance of town or street names, but I remember riding Amtrak’s “Maple Leaf” leaving Exchange St. Station in Buffalo during 1983 or 84 ( I believe the time frame is correct)on the way to Toronto, to the right of the train was a railway line in the process of being removed for some distance. I remember thinking that it was probably the former Lehigh Valley or Erie Railroad’s route to Niagara Falls. Can anyone clue me in on this?
Also, I am interested in the TH&B’s interchanging with the LV. Did it actually run trains over trackage rights into Buffalo from Canada? If so, until what year?
