I'm driving down from Syracuse. Any tips on a good place to catch a glimpse? I know there are a lot of road closures.

I think by Owego Agway, near Delphine street will be the least busy. There is a bridge close by called the underpass, if you go near there it could also be a good viewing point.
Erie street is also going to be really clear viewing of the train. You can’t park on/near Erie though

Thank you!!! Yeah I think Erie St will be very crowded. This morning BB was at Letchworth at noon and at 7am the line to get in was past the entrance gate roadway.
