This replaced the 1876 Union Station that was close to the lakefront.
"Passenger train operations, to and from Cleveland, over the New York Central, Big Four and
Nickel Plate railroads, now focus in the new Union Station at the Public Square." [Souvenier Dedication Book, p5 via ClevelandMemory]

| Roy Nagy posted West approach to Cleveland Union Terminal. The tracks west of Terminal Tower on Nov 22, 1929. The first passenger train at Cleveland Union Terminal(CUT) was on Oct 24, 1929. The last was in 1977. There was no Rapid on the west side at the time of this photo. The elevated road is W Huron. From left to right: Hotel Cleveland; Terminal Tower; the building under construction is known today as Landmark Office Towers; and just below it is CUT's steam concourse (the location of Tower City’s former fountain). A small portion of Canal Rd is seen at the center of the photo's right edge. The tracks showing are allocated inside the terminal, left to right, as follows: 6 tracks for Traction Concourse, 12 tracks for Steam Concourse and 9 tracks for the yard outdoors. Tracks run under W Prospect and W Huron. The square footprint of Terminal Tower itself has no basement. Derya M. Ferendeci shared |

| Jon Talton posted Here's an image of the grand, Art Deco Buffalo Central Terminal, circa 1980. Built by the New York Central System, the 17-story head house welcomed passenger trains from 1929 to 1979. It saw all the passenger trains of NYC's "Great Steel Fleet," including the Twentieth Century Limited. The Canadian National, Pennsylvania, and Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo railroads also served the station (Photographer unknown). Doug Berg: That looks to be taken in early 80's as the concourse was severed from.main building to accommodate hi cars on 4 lead. |
