This is getting even more off topic, and it's not my favorite scene, but you can see one of NYSW's ex-Cartier C360's switching near the Agway plant in Binghamton. This would have to have been in 2006 or 2007 probably.

Wow...  Although I must admit that it's an awesome resource for model railroading (and modeling in general), I really have to wonder if this is a case of people being so preoccupied with whether they can, they're not stopping to think whether they should.  I have to marvel that areal photos of infrastructure, buildings, and any other spot in the US are now online in much higher quality than those that were used to prove the presence of ballistic missiles in Cuba in 1962... Just a thought.

Seusscaboose,

I don't think the link you gave is the one you meant--at least, it's not obviously showing a bridge.

Once you're looking at the view you want, you need to hit the "Share" button (toward the upper right) on Bing Maps to get a link that points at the current view.

Otherwise you'll get (I think) the last location you explicitly entered, rather than the current view.

thanks... this is the proper link... http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCC&cp=qxdprb85dmk0&style=b&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=6729088&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1

i am doing from the bridge (in the link) about 100 yards west bound to the rocky river, ohio station....
