The further TT eest of the two DL&W draws.

Everything west of the concrete wall in X4992 and X4993 was filled in. The
Buffalo River was slightly re-routed in this area about 10 years before these
photos. Attached is a drawing from Railway Age Gazette, Volume 59, No. 11,
page 466 in 1915 that shows the old and new channels by the further west of the
two draw spans, bridge 393.23.

X4992 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 392.54 looking north-northwest; TT east
X4993 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 392.54 looking north; TT east
X4994 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 392.54 looking east; TT east to the left
X4995 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 392.54 looking east-northeast; TT east to the left
X4996 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 392.54 looking south; TT west
