BUFFALO, N.Y. — A favorite exhibit at the Buffalo History Museum is at the end of its track, at least temporarily.

After 30 years, the museum’s Train Gallery, which is maintained by the Rail Barons, will temporarily close June 3. The expansive train display includes 1900s replica model trains running on more than 200 feet of track, a scale Erie Canal lock, and 100 miniature buildings portraying 19th century Buffalo and Western New York.

The Julia Reinstein Center is in the works of being redeveloped into a public attraction, so offices from the center will move into the space of the train gallery.

"So we run the trains and they're almost kind of taken back to their childhood or Christmas setting the train up around the tree," Anthony Greco, director of Exhibits and Interpretive Planning at the Buffalo History Museum, said. "And so it's definitely hard for the people here at the museum. We don't want to see it go away even temporarily, because it is so important to be able to come here."

If you want to catch the expansive display, your last chance to do so is May 27 and June 3.

Greco says the plan is to take the gallery down for a couple of years, and then he's hopeful they will find another place to install it and improve it. Officials hope to make it run more smoothly and update the landmarks as well as make it more wheelchair-accessible.
