Anywhere along there would have good views. There's an old road bridge at West Old State Road north of Fullers. It's closed, and I don't know if any police will hassle you for being on it. Nobody hassled me, but I was only there for about 20m. It's got a couple of holes on the north side, and I'm sure that their concern is that there might be other holes-in-the-forming. South of Fullers is French's Mill Road, where you have a view up to parallel bridges over a waterfall over a dam. It's a classic place to shoot trains. The bridge there is closed to vehicles, but marked as a pedestrian bridge. Unfortunately, South Albany Road bridge, which is the traditional place to observe trains in Selkirk, is closed, and I think closed to pedestrian traffic also. There's a few grade crossings in Vorheesville where you might get some good views.
