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.

The Sleeping Overhead Railway
The Green Street, located in the northeast, looks deserted. Decayed platform, weeds growing everywhere, and the Triple Bottom Brewing next door is abandoned too.

ニューヨークの観光名所ハイライン(High Line)から着想を得て、フィラデルフィア市は、この廃線を緑豊かな公園に変えるための第一歩を踏み出しました。
