Speaking of Philly, in the North East there were (at least) two freight branches which were elevated (on embankments - not including the Reading Viaduct) - 2 I know of; one runs from Frankford Ave NE across Roosevelt Blvd to the area of the old Navy Warehouse (OK, some of the line was depressed)http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=qp22428r89qp&style=o&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=7115814&encType=1 And one which branched south alongside B St. heading down to reach industries south of Allegheny Ave. http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=qnzzbj8r5qyt&style=o&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=7117204&encType=1 As mentioned these are mostly fills/embankments, but still are very interesting. Would you count the portion of the Passaic and Harsimus which runs alongside Rte 1 & 9 in Newark, NJ? |
