 2) The shooting spot of P(1) was on the 3rd girder of the Nagara-gawa Railway Bridge, Burton faced the west, and photographed the 3rd bridge pier, the 4th girder, the 4th bridge pier and the 5th cymbal.
 3) P(2) was photographed the Railway Bridge facing the northwest from the southeast of the 3rd iron leg, centering on the 3rd and 4th iron legs of the Nagara-gawa Railway Bridge that was affected.
 4) P(3) was photographed desiring north from the levee of the left bank on the east side of the Nagara-gawa Railway Bridge.
 5) P(4) was shot a little away from the levee of the left bank of the Nagara-gawa, facing the north desiring the Nagara-gawa Railway Bridge.
