I am not that familiar with NYC but from books and photos I have thought that since I will be in the city next week I would try to get pictures of Mott Haven and the Metro North traffic through this interlocking, and maybe some CSX freight. I will be taking the number 4 or 5 subway and then walking to this spot. Is it safe in mid day and what might see from this location? Thanks.
yes its safe during day, you will see any and all Metro north Equipment passing trough
you won't see CSX at MO however.
