Following the old Barber Branch (LV) that RJ Cormon sold a few yrs ago to the City of A'town and torn up, just after 10th St the mainline track is still in place. There is an abandoned factory with a network of spurs going into it. There are around a dozen flat cars on the main and on some of the spurs. Stuck there now forever!
If you continue west the track is gone but the wodden raised track is in the park just past the Lehigh Pkwy. I have a video of an LV local right here in the park in the late 1960s. Doing around 5mph and the conductor was standing on the head end loco pushing up the willow trees.
This branch during WWII had 30+ industrial customers. Still a few potential customers but as usual why bother serve rail customers that exist when you can just sell the land.
