La Salle (Metro Rail)
LaSalle Station is located at Main Street and LaSalle Avenue, and is one stop from the eastern terminus of the Metro Rail light rail line in Buffalo, New York.
Original drafting plans had the station used as a turnout between the current Metro Rail line and three proposed extensions; the Tonawanda Line, which would extend service into the cities of Tonawanda and Niagara Falls; the North Buffalo Line, which would extend service to Elmwood Avenue on an abandoned railroad right-of-way between Hertel and Kenmore Avenues; and the East Buffalo line, to connect the Main Street line with the proposed Airport Line, carrying passengers to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
The only visible sign of the turnout is located below ground by way of partially finished tunnel just west of the LaSalle station platforms.

Famous quotes containing the word salle:
“Green, green is El Aghir. It has a railway station,
And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
—Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
