yeah, I' seen that. East of Erie. Doesn't address the question.

Your postcard and literally hundreds of identical ones say "Waynehurst Park, North East, Pennsylvania".

I have no trouble fining North East. There does not seem to be any current reference to Waynehurst Park.

We see a bridge over a river. Does not identify the river. Nothing in current right of way has a bridge like that, over a river like that, with a sharp curve like that, at least anywhere close to North East.

Twentymile Creek? Mayhaps. French Creek? Not really that close to North East.
Sixteenmile creek and it's tributary is basically surface, not ravine.

Far from the 1st card I've posted here and elsewhere depicting a name and location from 100 years ago that simply isn't on the maps any more. Some of the towns are totally gone.......and a search shows up maybe a township of that name but no town or village remain. Places, like people, die.

at least we know I got it close at Twentymile creek.

Dover, NH? The surrounding area just does not look like Delaware. BTW, could you post an enlargement of the sign above the trolley? TIA

Try Dover, NJ and what that car is going under is the Morris Canal waterway, so this might be the Morris County Traction Company. If I blow up the photo, that sign goes totally pixelated; as best as I can make out it's a warning sign and that you should look out for trolleys.

Interesting.

I hope that, or something similar, is on the future build list.

It's on the list but a long ways down......and while I have photos of both sides here, I could use more as well as more info on the crane (where do I get those parts???), and that stuff behind the cab other than the 2 air tanks.
