Buffalo Creek Flour Railroad

Train Company

Something Missing?

Buffalo Creek was a switching road in the heavy industrialized southern portion of Buffalo NY. It was jointly leased and controlled by Erie (Erie-Lackawanna) and Lehigh Valley, and served as the primary switching carrier in Buffalo's grain elevator and mill district. The railroad was recognized far beyond its Buffalo confines by its fleet of grain box cars with the flour sack in a circle logo. When Conrail was formed in April 1976, Buffalo Creek followed EL and LV into the new railroad, and was formally merged out of existence in 1983.
