I rotated this as I designed it on the shape of an F1 car. I've designed some of my own F1 tracks because I got bored and it was fun. If you can think of a name for this image please post it below.

Although it was freezing and very windy over by the plane hangar, we decided to hang around enough to at least get a couple of pictures. Luckily there were no trains to be found either.

These are freight tracks embedded in the street, not trolley tracks. They are standard gauge, whereas all trolley tracks in Philly are broad gauge.
You can see the awesome abandoned Reading Railroad trestle in the background. (Stay tuned; there's a bunch of interesting shots I took up there coming up!)
