Fog (Page 2): Isn't the power pole is supporting the catenary? It was an electric train line to West Chester.

Nice shot. I’d like to see it with the power pole closed out.

I’d clone the pole out just to see if it creates a better focus on the subject of everything receding into the fog.

Interesting.
I look at it as a leftover from when electric trains ran on the line.
I suppose one has to be from the area to appreciate the pole.

Correct, it used to be a commuter line from Philadelphia to West Chester Pa. It shut down probably 20 or so years ago. There is a "scenic" train that runs from West Chester to Glen Mills now with a diesel engine. There is talk of reopening the line, probably not in my lifetime. BTW, someone stole the overhead copper wire from Elwyn to WC but everybody thought they were company workers. They have restored the commuter train to Wawa Pa. west of Elwyn. Thanks for your comment.

I see the photo as an artistic endeavor, not an attempt to document an electric rail line. To each his own.

Not sure about West Chester, but it is rumored...
Yea, WCRHA lost the use of the storage building in Lenni, which I believe was removed for SEPTA's new yard in Lenni.

There is a storage area in WC, you can go past it on, I think, Adams st.

I like the disappearing tracks into the fog.

That yard is what WCRHA (WCRR) currently uses.
The building in Lenni was nice as one member had an old coach stored there that he was working on restoring.
