Line 533: {{U\|DanTD}}, I can't remember ever being very close to the carhouse, so this is just a guess. But I did take a tour around Google Streetview and Flickr. Belgians don't know the difference between South Philly and SW Philly. He did take photos from the train in north philly, likely Amtrak. And he must have had a fairly long stop over at 30th St. Station (just renamed BTW). Then he went south by train (to DC?), passing over the overpass on Island Avenue, right by the carhouse. Note that this photo is taken from above the level of the fence. About the only thing that Streetview shows from near the overpass (with a much lower view) is a concrete wall, that might be the wall in the photo. As I said, just a guess.

Thank you for the great contributions! <span style="color:#a0a2a5">(courtesy of the [[WP:WER\|<span style="color:#80c0ff">Wikipedia Editor Retention Project</span>]])</span> \|} [[User:Coretheapple]] submitted the following nomination for [[WP:Editor of the Week\|Editor of the Week]]: :I nominate {{noping\|Smallbones}} as Editor of the Week for the integrity that he brings to the project, and for his yeoman work - unsung, unrecognized, unappreciated - fighting to preserve Wikipedia from encroachments by paid editors. He has been an editor for more than eight and a half years, and during that time has edited a staggering 11,337 articles at last count. He is not an administrator, heaven only knows why (too much sense?), but a content contributor par excellence, with in excess of 31,000 edits, 65% of them in article space. He is a generalist's generalist, with his top contributions ranging from [[Bernard Madoff]] to [[Media, Pennsylvania]]. But his prodigious talents as a contributor are not the only assets he brings to the project. No one has fought longer and more valiantly against paid editing. It is a great pleasure to nominate Smallbones for Editor of the Week.
