The #105 Locomotive was moved to Buffalo’s George Washington Park in 1982. It was part of a short-lived railroad company established in 1912 and managed by Charles Duffy. The development of the railroad took so long that the locals doubted its completion and so they nicknamed the railroad "Duffy's Bluff."
The first train finally arrived in Buffalo in February 1918 and while there were many problems due to poor construction and issues with the weather affecting operations, the railroad operated for nearly 30 years. The route was just over 28 miles long and ended in Clearmont where it met with the other major railroad lines.
The demise of the railroad was attributed to poor maintenance and issues of the trains causing prairie fires. The Buffalo Railroad ceased its operations in 1947. The depot still stands (Potter's Depot at 89 N Lobban) although it has been renovated several times.
