Scott Cameron: Appears to be a passenger depot in the background. Is that a different location than the much larger PRR station and later modern Amtrak depot?

B Tupper Upham: Interesting....I wonder why the K-4 is running light?

The track through Whittier Park appears to be just a connection between the W&LE and B&O. That explains why it is now abandoned. The rest of the W&LE trackage in the area is now owned by the new W&LE (reporting mark WE).
