DL&W Station

The reinvention of the former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western (DL&W) trainshed in the Cobblestone/Canalside Districts of Buffalo is underway. A new NFTA-Metro Rail Station is under construction at the facility. In 2026, a second project will construct a second-floor walkway to the Key Bank Center, open an additional section of the trainshed to the public including the outdoor deck, install windows reminiscent of the historic windows that were blocked in, add a truck elevator to bring food trucks to the second floor, and refurbish the exterior for reuse of the facility for decades to come. A third project will refurbish the Riverwalk/Empire State Trail along the Buffalo River. NFTA-Metro Rail Station construction is scheduled for completion by 2026.
