The Reading Viaduct Park, located in the city of Philadelphia, is a rail park that used abandoned railways. After putting an end to its 100 years of history in 1984, the park has been abandoned ever since. The Philadelphia City decided to study into New York’s influential tourist spot “High Line,” and started to turn their Reading Viaduct into a public park full of nature.
