It looked at least usable the one time I saw it, if not perfectI work in the vicinity of the West Chester Branch. Catenary is in fine shape. The only exception is a tear under the US 202 overpass. One or two poles could use replacing. Otherwise, the catenary has really held its own. It is de-energized past Lenni, so no risk of anyone hurting themselves. The track is also is great condition (thanx to the West Chester Railroad---SEPTA was too busy letting it rot), but would need work to make it good for commuter standards.
