Today's photos proved me wrong. I had thought that Bridge 392.54 was the
bridge further along the City Branch by Republic Steel, but it was the other
seldom photographed Buffalo River bridge further up the river closer to Bailey
Ave/DM Tower. That makes all my directions incorrect. Oops.

So I have to start over :(

X4997 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 392.54 looking northeast; TT east

X4999 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 393.23 looking north; TT west
X5000 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 393.23 looking north-northeast; TT west to the left
X5001 BUFFALO, NY, Bridge no. 393.23 looking north-northeast; TT west to the left


Attached is an annotated 1951 aerial photo to better orient both bridges. Note
that the big concrete wall seen in X4992 and X4993 is visible in the aerial
on the east side of the ROW at bridge 392.54.

Please note that the Railway Age drawing I sent yesterday is of bridge 393.23
and not 392.54.

I apologize for any confusion I have caused. I did spend a good amount of
time yesterday looking at aerials and maps comparing the two bridges and
thought I had it right. This should set the record straight. I will amend my
previous post on the server so as not to leave erroneous info in the archive.
