Eastern Railroad Discussion > Buffalo NY question

Going to be in the Buffalo area in a couple of weeks. Any suggestions for good spots to catch trains? Thanks for any help.

Lake Avenue in Blasdell has NS, CSX, B&P switching, and the Buffalo Southern.  Off of Route 5.
Broadway Road in Cheektowaga is parallel to CSX main line
William Street in Buffalo is paralel to NS line
The International RR Bridge which carries CN, NS and Cp traffic can be viewed from Unity Island Park.

Hopefully that helps!

Thanks very much.

Recommend the highway overpass on the southwest side - Tifft St overpass
You have NS, CSX, Buffalo & Pittsburgh, Buffalo Southern, South Buffalo all under you, it's pretty much the western hub of Buffalo and the yards are there.
Safe access, sidewalks on north side of overpass, park at the ballfield and walk up.
Mesh fencing on bridge but you can get a lens through it easily.

Easy access, CP-DRAW visible in background, bring a telephoto lens.
