Train watching locations around Albany, NY

[Saxman]

Where are some good train watching locations around Albany, NY along the ex D&H and Conrail Lines? I will be in Albany the week of August 5, 2002.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Selkirk is a good location. It also has a three bridges running across. One at the south end, one at the north end and one near the engine terminal. I preferred the north end north of the bridge with trains entering and leaving the yard. The tracks are accessible through an industrial area.
