Former switch?
Remnants of an abandoned track run parallel to the active one, and it appears that most of the ties here run under the ballast where a switch may have been located....
=============================================
Running from PRR's 25th Street line, this short stretch once accessed the "Mud Yard" as the company's Girard Point facilities were nicknamed due to being built from reclaimed marshland.
