addPhoto('entire-complex-aerial.jpg',"A beautiful view of the entire Central Terminal complex from the air. Also worthy of note is the presence of the New York Central's stock yards on William Street. The picture was taken in the early 1930s.");

addPhoto('complex-from-tower.jpg','A view similar to the previous picture but taken in late 1992. You can see the west end of the passenger platforms as well as the west end shanty. Gone are the stock yards which were replaced by the main office of the U.S. Post Office.');

addPhoto('dignitary.jpg','Running parallel to Curtiss Street was the track and platform that the New York Central employees called the "Dignitary Track". It was here that private cars for people of importance -- presidents, movie stars and the like -- would park while the person was visiting Buffalo. The track was accessible off the Belt Line.');

addPhoto('tower-t.jpg','A view from in front of Tower T on the Belt Line. The tower was used to switch trains from the Belt Line to the New York Central Main Line going east and west. The Belt Line starts at the Terminal and circles the entire city of Buffalo and at one time was actually used as a commuter rail service.');

addPhoto('term2.jpg','The Terminal as seen from Paderewski Street sometime in 1992.');

addPhoto('term4.jpg','This is what train passengers would see as they passed the Terminal. This was actually taken in a lot off William Street in October of 1991 and was the first photograph I ever shot of the building.');

addPhoto('entrance.jpg','One of the entrances to Central Terminal. Unusual that the enormous awnings over each entrance identified the building owner, but not the building.');

addPhoto('awning-color.jpg','Taken in the summer of 1993. Later, the doors would be removed for easier access.');

addPhoto('vandyke.jpg','If you wanted to catch a taxi from the Terminal, you would wait at one of these taxi stops. When the Terminal first opened, the Van Dyke Cab Company was the only taxi in Buffalo allowed to stop exclusively at the station, thus their reserved parking.');

addPhoto('chopped-side.jpg','When the section of the passenger concourse that ran over the Belt Line was demolished in the early 80s, the enormous hole was filled in with concrete. However, on the platform side, the wall was wide open to the elements. This was how I was able to take this picture.');

addPhoto('shanty.jpg','Located on the Terminal grounds at either end of the property were two small white buildings. I was told by several New York Central employees that these structures were called the East and West Side Shanties. These buildings were the quarters for the firemen, engineers, and brakemen who were getting ready to take their trains out. Depending on which way the crew was heading (either east or west) determined which building they would rest in and get their equipment from. This picture is of the East Side Shanty.');
