Hi, all.
My boyfriend and I both like hiking on old rail lines and he came across this on historic aerials. It's in between Old Baltimore Pike and Rt 4 in Delaware:
A lot of the land has since been redeveloped, but there are still two of the main spurs visible on current aerial photos. It was only in use from some time after 1937 until pre-50s, so I assume something WWII-related, but the fact I can't find anything bugs me because it looks like the project cost a lot to complete. (I mean, it's over 100 acres)
Any information regarding this or WWII rail projects in general would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
