Oak Point

Oak Point is ‘The jewel of the Bronx’ – CSX’s South Bronx rail yard which they’ve endowned with a hilarious tagline. This yard is in constant motion, full of trash cars, general freight and reefers. For a long time this yard was a hard spot to bench, given all the fencing surrounding it. This recently become significantly simpler with the construction of a large box store overlooking nearly the entire yard. The parking lot is publicly accessible, with a fence low enough that any good telephoto lens can be used to view nearly every car in the yard.
