Greg, even walking down from Dalton crossing, the shots you describe are problematic due to landowner issues. Sure, if you stay on the ROW, you're technically OK, but...
I know both of the shots you're talking about, and they're both really nice, but these days iffy.
Here's one from there on the 1st Piledriver train:

As for the tank shot, I still recommend the scramble down through the trees. The pullout is obvious, just past the road, as is the trail which leads directly down to the tank. It's short, and yes a bit steep, but still the way I recommend going in, especially if you want to hurry and catch other shots below the pass.
