I haven't been there in a couple of years .. but I don't remember no fence there that was so tall that you couldn't shoot a decent pic .. if you set up right about where the crane is, you could do the same pic ..

David, was this image taken from a mountain or a mole hill?

I'm pretty sure it is easy to get to that area from the parking lot at the station.  There is a monument to John Brown there, and as i recall, the fence is just to prevent people from falling down the big incline.

I don't think that crane shot would work John . It looks like he is over the north rail facing east , and far enough east to clear the trees on the left of the track . I believe he was on the track , but who he works for is up in the air .

I've been there many time,a the most recent 1 1/2 years ago.
I've never had a problem getting to that spot,even with a stroller.
I just walked in from the station area.
