I'll bet this question has already been answered elsewhere, but is it safe to assume this is a former Belt Railway of Chicago unit?

I live down the road on S Maple St. from this place. However, I have yet to see a train from WNYP here as they generally are unpredictable and while possible to see in daylight usually run at night or the early morning. The only thing one sees in the daylight 90% of the time are NS unit coal trains to and from the Pennsylvania Coal Fields to New England that have trackage rights over the entire length of this line. It should be noted that the other side of the bridge was once home to a canoe manufacturer and a small freight station under the Erie. The former business is gone but the building still stands and is a garage for a personal boat and other such toys. The latter was torn out by Conrail in I believe the late 70s-early 80s. Today the foundation is covered and weeds and is not relatively noticeable at first glance. Technically you also shot this in Ashville. Very good Michael.
