AMTRAK SERVICE INTO BUFFALO

There are two Amtrak stations in Buffalo: Exchange Station and Depew Station. The Exchange Station is much more convenient to the hostel.

The train from Chicago will come into Depew Station only.

The direct train from Boston (Lake Shore Limited) comes into Depew Station only.

Trains come into both stations from other points of origin. It is possible to come into Amtrak-Exchange from Boston by going first to New York City and then to Buffalo.
