One sunny day,back in February, I ventured out of doors and took some photos of the remnants of the Pennsylvan
ia Railroad's right of way. This branch line is now a bike trail through Lancaster and is a very pleasant trail to walk, bike or jog on. Here in the first photo is a bridge that was repainted and repaired
along the trail. It is near Cenci Lake
Park.
Our next stop is a mile marker beside Cenci Lake (background) this
marker's T stands for Trinway, a town obviously 60 miles from here (north east).
Now, on our third stop along the trail, is where the trail crosses the still active tracks that the Indiana and Ohio (I&O)use to access Ralston Cereals and I think a couple of other stops. The posts and that you have to weave through them remind me of the tank traps of WWII (only those were much bigger!). If you ride your bike slow enough you can weave through these poles. Unfortunately, the sign on the other side has been vandalized as well as the shelter you see in the background. It once had glass sides, but these have been entirely busted out by someone or somebodies.
I actually don't understand what all the effort is for, what is the point of destroying this material? There a several signs, posts and other things along the trail that have been deliberately destroyed.
Finally, we part with a view of the line running beside the old Anchor Hocking Plant. It is time to part
after our little hike. Thanks for walking with me!
