Abstract
This photo is of a SEPTA (Southeast Pennsylvania Transit Authority) train station. The photo depicts rusted tracks and was taken from a pedestrian walkway above the station. The camera was aimed through a chain-link fence/barrier designed to keep pedestrians safe while crossing from one side to the other of the station. Yellow paint marks the safety zone behind which passengers should stand when trains enter the station. The white roofs keep the passengers standing next to the tracks dry from the elements.
The photo was taken on a dreary day and apartments or office buildings are in the background.
