Trains coming-from/bound-for Canada and Niagara call at Buffalo Exchange Street, a classic Amshack located directly under the I-190 flyover which is, at least, centrally located Downtown and close to the LRT. Instead, Amtrak trains call at one or both of two different stations (spoiler: not for your convenience).
