Our second last day of train travel we spent six hours at the Buffalo/Depew train depot. It was a mild October day and Mick spent most of the time outside on the bench watching trains go by on one of the four tracks. Unless you are a train watcher (some call train lovers ‘foamers’) you might not know that waiting for trains to appear can be a boom or bust experience. You could wait at a spot for hours and not see one train or…..you could spend several hours at the Buffalo/Depew depot and see…not one..not two…but seventeen! Jackpot-for those in the know! Meanwhile the non train watcher is able around the train depot many times, over to the local Tim Horton’s to buy coffee and generally watch the world go by.
Did you know NYC ships some its garbage via train to Ohio and other states? One of the trains that went by was an empty NYC garbage train.
