This editorial from the February 3, 1882 Buffalo Evening News newspaper discusses a plan for the New York, Lackawanna and Western Railroad to acquire a piece of property on the waterfront from the City of Buffalo for, what the writer claims, is an artificially low price.

This piece of property, where the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western built their terminal in Buffalo, was a continual source of debate, as demonstrated by this 1910 article.
