View east includes several parallel railroads

Facilities

Tifft Street viaduct crosses the aforementioned marsh area at about its midpoint, and makes a fine vantage point from which to observe the varied railroad activities below. Those are the NYC mains in the foreground, and this is the stretch between BC tower and Seneca. BC, the interlocker at the crossing of the Buffalo Creek Railroad, is faintly discernible to the left of the tracks a little over a mile away. The small yard a short distance down the tracks handles interchange with the Lehigh Valley, whose weed-covered connecting tracks approach to the left of the NYC, and whose main Tifft Street yard is farther to the left, across a field of marsh grass. The single-track line on the right is the Erie branch to Salamanca; then come yards of the Nickel Plate, South Buffalo, and Baltimore and Ohio, in that order.
