If you look carefully there are 3 "Camara Holes" cut into that chain link fence looking North on the Tift St. Bridge. I've used them many times to get good shots. They are over the CSX & NS Mains.

Are they official camera holes, or did someone install them themselves?

If you look carefully, there are 2 "f"s in "Tifft". Now if we could only go back about 30 years when there were "F's" under the bridge on the B&O, LV, NYC, etc.

30 years ago you could drive into the LV & B&O yds. for pix & no one would bother you. Shooting from the bridge was easy & I got some B&O shots (including F's) from there. Have'nt been there in years as it's easier for me to get to Fork's, the Depew Amt. sta. etc.

The holes were cut into the fence with a pare of wire snips or something. Somebody chose a few good spots and then "clip, clip". Perfect for shots of switching the B&P Buffalo Creek Yard, the NS & CSX Mains.
