Union train sketch12/11/2023 ![]() A roomier area would also ease the transfer of sleeping cars between trains. NYC decided to build the new Buffalo Central Terminal 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the east, in order to relieve both rail and grade crossing congestion and to be more conveniently located for trains not terminating in Buffalo. Both of these downtown stations were old-Exchange Street dated to before the American Civil War-and were plagued with downtown congestion. The New York Central Railroad (NYC) had two stations in Buffalo in the early 20th century: the Exchange Street Station and the Terrace Station. From about 1905, East Buffalo also served the West Shore Railroad, its service was consolidated from a station on Wick Street. In 1889, a new Union Station was proposed to be built on the site of the future Central Terminal, but it never happened. The new station proved unpopular, and thus Exchange Street station remained open. The first attempt to direct rail traffic out of downtown Buffalo came in 1874, when a Union Depot (East Buffalo) opened there. History Planning and construction (1925–1929) ĭuring the late 19th century, Buffalo had several railroad stations, and there were calls for a single union station. The power plant itself lasted up until the mid-1980s, with its exact demise not known. The building's smokestack was dismantled in 1966 to save on taxes. It contained three 28-foot (8.5 m) coal boilers. The first building built as part of the project was a cogeneration power station that provided heat and electricity to the complex, even during construction. Other buildings included a Pullman Company service building, an ice house and a coach shop, all of which were torn down in 1966 to lower property taxes. In 1982, the bridge which connected the train concourse and passenger platforms from the terminal and main concourse was demolished to allow passage of high freight cars on the Belt Line. The train concourse is owned by Amtrak, with the land being owned by CSX. Each platform is accessed by a staircase and a ramp. The Train Concourse is 450 feet (140 m) long and includes 14 low-level platforms. This building is currently owned by the City of Buffalo, which has confirmed plans to demolish it. Trains would pull directly into the building to proceed with the load/unloading of goods. The building is located behind the Mail Building of the complex and is by far the most decayed building. The Railway Express Agency was the early forerunner of today's Federal Express and UPS. It is a two-story building adjacent to the Baggage Building. ![]() The mail building along Curtiss Street is owned by the City of Buffalo. It is a five-story building immediately adjacent to the Main Concourse. The Mail & Baggage Building on Curtiss Street is owned by the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation. The Office Tower is 15 stories, excluding the main floor and mezzanine and is 271-foot (83 m)-high. Curtiss Street runs directly below the Passenger Concourse, but has been closed since the late 1980s for safety reasons. Off the Passenger Concourse there is a streetcar lobby and waiting room. The Passenger Concourse included various rental spaces a restaurant with a dining room, lunch room, and coffee shop a Western Union telegraph office and a soda fountain, along with standard station necessities. ![]() The Passenger Concourse is 225 feet (69 m) long, 66 feet (20 m) wide, and 58.5 feet (17.8 m) tall (63.5 feet at the domed ends). The Main Terminal Building includes the Passenger Concourse, and the Office Tower. The Main Terminal Building is owned by the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation. The terminal is located about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of downtown Buffalo, and consists of several structures, some of which are connected, while others were formerly interconnected. Abandoned since 1979, the terminal is now being restored for use as a Civic Commons. The Central Terminal is located in the city of Buffalo's Broadway/Fillmore district. An active station from 1929 to 1979, the 17-story Art Deco style station was designed by architects Fellheimer & Wagner for the New York Central Railroad.

Letra one republic secrets12/10/2023 ![]() ![]() If you are gonna enforce the rule for one or for some, you have to enforce the rule for all. I get safety and security but that was not cool. I felt like this man was selectively picking women because I saw other women around me with bigger purses when he singled me out. Also, I saw many women with bigger purses than mine and even backpacks. I would have been early had it not been for that. Plus, I also missed the first band because of this. I had to walk back to my car to leave everything that I could and felt so uncomfortable and uneasy not being able to have a place to put my keys, my wallet, my phone and some lady items. Mind you, he did not measure it and he sent me away until I got rid of it. The venue states that purses must not exceed 5x9 and my purse was smaller than 5x9 and slim but he stated that it was not and told me that I could not enter with it. I loved the concert but their was one particular venue worker, he was older and not very nice who was picking on women regarding their purses. What a collectible, and a way to get more insider scoop on OneRepublic. The book you get as an UtraVIP is insane! It's hard bound and interactive as you scan pages, videos pop up and the pages come alive. ![]() Thanks, Elliott! He really made up for missing that early engagement opportunity. He let us listen to a few songs that OR has not released yet.they weren't even full songs yet. We had to track down our swag bags, although when we did, we got to meet Elliott - the nicest and most down to earth guy that travels with the band doing all things behind the scenes. It was impossible to get downtown that early, so we missed the private bar and drinks. We missed one email that detailed our need to get there uber early to fully engage in all that we paid for. The UltraVIP experience communication wasn't great, to be honest. They are so talented and deserve to be their own headliners. The other couple we invited were obsessed with them, and knew them over OR. Zach, Brian, Brent and the rest playing violins, the cello, of course the piano - it was all such a great musical delight. They were blown away by all the songs Ryan has written by other artists, but also the musical talent of the entire band. We brought friends with us for the UltraVIP experience and it did not disappoint! One couple we took knew OneRepublic music, but did not fully appreciate the talent of Ryan and the band until they experienced it with us up close and personal on the 5th row. ![]() Mönchengladbach, Germany SparkassenPark Mönchengladbach Nevertheless I love their music and probably always will - but at this very moment I doubt if I’ll go to another concert ever again. That’s why I hate "If I lose myself": It irrefutably marks the end of the show - period.Įspecially after 2 years of pandemic I simply expected more. Besides the fact that there’s no (or almost no) change in the ongoing tour’s set list (it’s all on YouTube) the shows are completely predictable and even Ryan’s interactions with the audience is pretty much the same every time - all he does is adding some more "f*cking’s" to his speeches :-/ (if you know that people are bringing their kids and Ryan being a father, too - I expect him to be aware that he’s a role model!). At least not if that leads to a huge gap in the repertoire of original 1R songs! Would have LOVED them to play Let’s hurt tonight or Kids or Run or Something I need or Better or The less I know or All the right moves or at least WEST COAST instead of Ryan’s personal projects. I can’t tell why he obviously thinks attending a OneRepublic’s concert means everyone also wants to hear what he once has written for Beyoncé, Leona Lewis, Ellie Goulding or the Jonas Bros. That said, the show was too short by far! They only played roughly an hour and a half - and about 20 minutes were just about Tedder showing off. The sound was perfect, the venue was quite alright, not too big and provided grandstands/seatings, the weather conditions couldn’t have been ANY better. Saw them again for the first time in 8 years and was extremely hyped! They’re undoubtedly one of the most perfect musicians you can ever enjoy playing live and Ryan Tedder’s voice is absolutely awesome and a pure delight to listen to. Captain phillips movie12/10/2023 ![]() Thankfully, Phillips eventually contacted a SEAL psychologist who assessed his condition, explaining that it was a chemical release the former hostage was going through and perfectly normal. "2 days after in the movie it shows me crying in the hospital, and the incident actually occurred the 2nd and 3rd night, I would wake up in the night and I had a digital clock so I knew exactly what time it was, and I would be crying, racking and sobbing," Phillips said, recounting the life-changing encounter. The film, which opens in the UK on Friday, has been tipped to give Hanks a tilt at Oscars glory next March.Speaking openly about the ordeal in the aforementioned Reddit AMA, Phillips revealed that he didn't break down exactly in the same way as Hanks' version of him did in the film, but the trauma soon kicked after. "Because he went through that area, and the company is sending him e-mails, and I know he saw that chart 50 times."Ĭaptain Phillips debuted strongly this weekend at the US box office and opened the London film festival last week, as well as screening at the New York film festival. Perry told the Post he agreed with theories that his captain wanted to be taken captive, and may even have had a death wish. At one point he attacked the chief pirate, seizing him and using him as a bargaining chip for the return of Phillips. "I don't know."Īnother crew member, chief engineer Mike Perry, is reputed to have been the real hero of the ordeal, despite having only a small presence in Greengrass's film. "I couldn't tell you exactly the miles," Phillips told the Post. Phillips' real-life crew member says his captain was just 235 miles off the coast, though Phillips says he was 300 miles off. ![]() "It is just horrendous, and they're angry."Īccording to the Post's report, ships in the area were warned to stay at least 600 miles off the Somali coast because 16 container ships had been attacked by pirates during the prior three weeks in the same region. "It is galling for them to see Captain Phillips set up as a hero," she added. He told them he wouldn't let pirates scare him or force him to sail away from the coast. The sailors' lawyer, Deborah Waters, told the Post: "The crew had begged Captain Phillips not to go so close to the Somali coast. Phillips has denied being aware of such a plan. "He didn't want anything to do with it, because it wasn't his plan," said the crew member. The crew member said Phillips, who went on to meet Barack Obama and write a memoir, refused to cut power and lock himself and the crew below deck in line with anti-pirate protocol. "No one wants to sail with him," he told the Post. "Phillips wasn't the big leader like he is in the movie," said one crew member who worked closely with the captain, speaking anonymously for legal reasons. ![]() The sailors, who are suing their employers Maersk Line and the Waterman Steamship Corp for $50m, said Richard Phillips was a sullen, self-righteous man: their suit claims the captain's wilful disregard for his crew's safety contributed to the attack. ![]() Crew members of the Maersk Alabama, which suffered the raid off the coast of lawless Somalia in April 2009, told the New York Post the titular hero played by Tom Hanks in Paul Greengrass's critically acclaimed film was far from heroic.
