Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railroad Station is a historic railway station located at Orchard Park in Erie County, New York. The property includes the passenger depot and brick freight house both constructed in 1911, tracks, a concrete bumper post, a semiphore signal, a portion of the entrance drive, and four period rail cars. The station's plan is based largely on one designed by Henry Hobson Richardson for the 1884 station at Auburndale, Massachusetts.[2] When the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway was acquired by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Orchard Park Station became a B&O station, as one might expect. The station terminated passenger service in the 1950s before the meger between B&O and C&O into the Chessie System, and thus before the takeover of passenger service in the United States by Amtrak. Freight service operated from Orchard Park until 1979. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
