Subject: The South Park lift bridge is in the foreground. Concrete Central Elevator is in the upper right. The Cargil Elevator is in the upper middle. I believe that the LVRR round house at the Tift St yards was located at or very near the water tower.

Date: Sun Dec 10 21:30:44 2006
Subject: This is a zoomed in look where the 2nd boxcar is hanging onto the bridge. The blue boxcar on the bridge is still half on the rails. They are clearing all the broken trucks and axles buring underneath. Trains were operating in both directions at this time.

Subject: After putting out the fire and getting the doors off on the opposite side, the Caterpiller cranes carried this car up towards Walden Ave stopping in front of Niagara Hobby. After they cleared this, they started working on the boxcar hung on the bridge.

Date: Sun Dec 10 21:45:07 2006
Subject: They had both cranes tied to the end of this boxcar by think steel cables. They kept yanking but the car wouldn't budge. While waiting for the car to fall I pushed to hard on the button and snapped the picture before I was ready.

Date: Sun Dec 10 21:50:11 2006
Subject: It is with great misfortune that this picture came out lousy. They had stopped pulling on the boxcar to reposition the cranes so I wasn't paying attention. But I turned to look at it and realized it had started to fall from the bridge and immediately snapped the picture without waiting for the focus to line up. I guess it's better than nothing. It's not like I can ask them to repeat it.

So, this picture shows the car disengaged from the bridge and falling.

Subject: While the weather was reasonable for flying my friend and I decided to take a run down to Bradford, Pa for lunch. On our way back I took this photo looking north with Rt219 just below. We were at about 4000 feet above the ground.

Subject: Mayville is out of view but is bottom and to the right. The Lake is on the left out of view. We are looking in a southerly direction. You can make out the right of way at bottom center of the picture and then bends up. If you follow a straight line from there you see a small lake near the upper center of the picture.

Date: Thu Jan 11 12:21:39 2007
Subject: This picture is basically 5 miles directly opposite of the picture below. Mayville and the Lake are at the top. The small lake mentioned below is about center left. You can see the rr snaking around to the right of that "main rd" running through the center of the picture. The gorge is at the bottom of the picture.

Subject: This is just Lake Chautauqua while I'm headed back home via Dunkirk. The pollution layer was so thick that even at 4500 feet at Mayville I still couldn't see Lake Erie. It's the worst I've ever seen it. And no improvement over a year later.

Subject: I was flying to the south of the yards in Buffalo, NY. The altitude was 5500 feet above sealevel. The view is looking north, northwest. In the lower portion of the picture you can identify the Lehigh Valley wye that comes from the line along the NYS Thruway. You then can see the NS Bison Yard including the new section along with the ex-DL&W line exiting to the NW going over the CSX Frontier Yard to the top of the picture. The Central Terminal is to the far left but unfortunately it is just out of view. It was very bumpy flying today so I have no idea why the camera worked this time.

Date: Thu May 3 13:27:20 2007
Subject: This is a look from above at the location of the new Ethanol Plant in Buffalo. The central cluster of elevators is where it will be. I don't know for certain which elevators will be used.

The Central Terminal can be located in the far upper left hand corner. New York Centrals elevator, Concrete Central, can be seen about middle right with the bridges crossing the Buffalo River to its left. LaFrarge is at the bottom just left of center.
