John E. Beirne posted six photos with the comment:
On a visit to Perkasie, PA for the Upper Bucks Celtic Day Festival I briefly scoped out the former Reading/Conrail/SEPTA station on the former Bethlehem Branch which has been defunct since 1981.
Also a former tunnel and ROW from the Lehigh Valley Transit interurban trolley line that ran a long trip from Allentown to 69th St in Philadelphia.

The shack in the second photo is on the right side of this view. It is on the other side of the tracks from the depot and provides some shelter for passengers riding the trains going in the opposite direction.

The east coast does not have a lot of grain storage elevators, but it does seem to have quite a few feed mills. It looks like they do grind some of their own feed here.

That is a mill architecture that I've never seen before. The slogan on the truck is "we feed them all big or small."
