Sad Philadelphia Railfanning News

[Acela150]

Went to go watch some trains on the Wheatsheaf Lane bridge today. Sadly I would guess the city shut down the bridge. :unsure: Ended up going to North Philadelphia instead. I would have gone to Frankford Junction but trespassing is being "cracked down". h34r: While Frankford Junction is a nice spot simply because of the sun and the nice curve that reduces speed to 60 MPH or so. Overall it was a great day.. :hi:

How so?

Railfans used to be able to go there and nothing would be said but, now it seems as crews are reporting railfans more and more and more. It's a great place to railfan. But it seems like crews are not as welcoming to railfans as they were say 5 years ago. It seems like police are keeping eyes on the area too. So it's not what it was 5 years ago.
