Thanks Paul G for all the info. Also I believe I did post the comment.

Ozzy, Tom Telesco wants everyone to think he’s a multimillionaire, but he’s nothing but a crook. How much was he worth when he bought BCT back in, when was it, 1986? How many other historic buildings has he destroyed for his own personal gains? And how much truth is there to his alleged drug habit? Maybe his company, Telesco Associates might be doing well at the moment, but at what cost to what he left behind in ruins? I think Donald Trump, if he was interested, would have taken much better care of BCT, and would have quickly developed a plan for its re-use. And wasted no time implementing that plan. Without gutting it out of everything that gave BCT its character. It would have never sunk to the low that it did under Telesco. As far as nightclubs go, they were never my scene, but most of them are tied to organized crime in one way or another. Fronts for dealing drugs, weapons, etc.. There’s always something going on there in “the back room”.

Incidentally, the train arrival/ departure board found at the Agway building looks like it might have been the one in the center of the now gone passenger bridge over the belt line tracks, which is shown in a photo in the Flickr BCT photostream.
(Are you the Ozzy that placed the lone comment under that picture?)
As with the concourse clock, Telesco may have had other items secretly transported out of the area, and out of state. We never know where the next artifact or group of artifacts from BCT will turn up. We have to keep our eyes and ears open, and watch for clues.

Speaking of Tommy Telesco and stashing stuff around, I heard that some of the night clubs he owns has some Central Terminal Artifacts. I also heard he owns a bar in Buffalo. You can go to his website and look at all the stuff he owns. He is a multi-millionare.

Looking at the BCT Flickr photostream, going in a few pages, I saw the black and white photos of the various stages of the terminal’s construction. Looking at the dates on the photos, it’s amazing at how fast this building went up. And that’s without all the modern constuction methods as we know them today, when the work was backbreaking with almost no stoppage. They must have practically worked around the clock to move this project ahead as fast as they did.
Of course the original Kinzua bridge in Pennsylvania, as large as it was, was done in 100 or so days. And when it was converted from iron to steel it took about 70 days. It’s hard to say how long it would have taken to restore it using modern methods, before the tornado blew it down 5 years ago. We’ll never know now.

Possibly one of the places where Telesco had them squirreled away until he could find a buyer for them, under the table. Who knows where else in town he had stuff from the terminal squirreled, that may still be there. He was one shady dude! Glad he’s gone to Florida, I hope they get him for something illegal down there, payback for what he did to BCT!

Why would they be found Agway Building? That is strange. Maybe we should look for some more Terminal artifacts in soon to be demolished buildings.

Where in the restaurant did these panels come from?
