Col. Ward Pumping Station




     These massive steel steam engines are the original pumps that were used to send water throughout Buffalo in the early 1900s. I toured the station and this was the last stop, and it truly left me in awe. The five pumps stand at 60 feet and 1100 tons a piece. It's a miracle that Buffalo has not found some reason to ruin, sell, or neglect them. They are definitely one of my favorite hidden gems in Buffalo!
