Long ago when I first began historical RR exploration (1998) eventually I found , among others, the Gardenville Line where is goes under the LVRR at Broadway in Lancaster.

Back then there was barely any water. I walked and rode my bike down there. There was some wet spots. You could see the drainage system mostly at work. But now…..it ain’t workin’……much.

The first picture was taken March 18th of this year. Pretty darn deep. I could even put my boat in here with the lower unit all the way down😁.

The second pic was taken today (June 14th). Still pretty deep but is one stone block shallower.

I’ve always looked at this area via sat views and the underpasses next to Walden and Broadway and thinking of days long gone .
Can you post an overhead of exactly which area this is as I’m not sure what I’m always trying to figure out.
