Artist's Description
Looking up at the abandoned Whitford Railroad Bridge through the lens of a Recesky plastic camera.
The old iron truss bridge at Whitford, Pennsylvania spans the existing Amtrak/Septa line into Philadelphia. The bridge was built in 1904-05 by Pennsylvania Steel Co. (Steelton, PA) to a design by H. R. Leonard.
At 373' -1" long this is an exceptionally long example of a "pin-connected Parker through truss" construction, exceeding the commonly accepted practical limit of 300'-0" for Parker-Type bridges.
The Whitford Freight Bridge was part of the late 19th century line modernization which separated freight traffic from passenger trains. It has been out of service since about 1990.

About Richard Reeve
I am a visual story teller based in southern Pennsylvania, USA and my imagery is inspired from everyday objects and situations I encounter through my travels. My work has been exhibited and sold at the Bradford Avenue Galleries (Allinson Gallery and Huston Gallery) at Chester County Art Association, in addition to this online store. My images have also been exhibited at Panorama XXL, Rouen, France and the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, USA. I hope you will find something that inspires you, amuses you, makes you think, smile, frown, or perhaps just scratch your head. Go on, dive in... and for those of you who do so, I offer a big thank you for looking through my window on the world! ~Richard ReevePhotos Inspiring...

Thank you Steve, I love using my little Recesky camera and the fact that I can never be too sure what the final image will turn out like. In these days of instant gratification there's still something to be said for waiting for the film to be processed with hopeful anticipation.
