Help requested for Birmingham area

Is there anyone out there who could advise me if it is possible to view both the Snow Hill line and the New St line. They cross over somewhere near Moor St station and I hope to visit in the near future and would have liked to have seen train movements from both lines.

The lines do cross at Galton Bridge on the North side of Brum, but where you are thinking of at Moor St is obscured. Not sure if The New St line is in a tunnel there, but it can`t be seen. There are places where more than one line can be seen, but you would have to do some looking into it as Brum has and is changing a lot.

Would something like "Google Earth" be of use when trying to select viewing locations prior to a visit ?
