Actually, I believe Buffalo had 25 cycle service a little later than 
that because it continued to be generated at the Adam Beck power station 
on the Canadian side of the Niagara River for a few more years and 
supplied customers on both sides of the river.  A friend's workplace was 
replacing its power feeds in the early 2000s and they were installing 
drops and meters and etc. for both 60 Hz and 25 Hz services as they had 
equipment that used both and they were still getting 25 Hz off the line 
from Canada.  It was a few years after that when it was announced that 
they were discontinuing 25 Hz service from the Beck station.
