If you keep an eye out while hiking the Enola Low-Grade, you will see remnants of the old catenary anchoring system along rail trail. Systems like these are used to supply power to electric locomotives. The Atglen & Susquehanna branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad was completed in 1906 but was soon electrified via Safe Harbor after the dam’s completion in the early 1930s. While the last train traveled the A&S on December 19, 1988, Safe Harbor still sends power via the route to Parkesburg for trains using the main line corridor. Most of these anchors were removed and left to rust in 2011 when Amtrak installed a new generation of catenary mono poles along the trail. 🚂.

This arched space can be found on River Road outside of Safe Harbor near Spring Run Road. From your car it looks like another limestone furnace that litters the Lancaster country side. But upon closer inspection it appears to be a root cellar. . It’s hard to imagine but in the 1800s there was a vibrant community with a strong manufacturing center in this now forested area. Coming soon Uncharted Lancaster examines the forgotten secrets of Safe Harbor. .. .. .. #unchartedlancaster #discoverlancaster #nature #mountain #environment #winter #wood #tree #rock #old #scenic #light #landscape #wild #tree_shotz #tree_pictures #trees #treephotography #rootcellar #furance #storage #hook #forgotten #abandoned #Abandoned_ #deserted #derelict #lost #abandoned_seekers #abandoned_junkies

Here’s a picture from today’s hike. This culvert marks the last stop for Grubb Run, which flows through Shenks Ferry where this photo was taken, before it reaches the Susquehanna River. The Susquehanna River marks the western border of Lancaster County. Its constant presence makes it is easy to forget that it is the longest river on the East Coast of the United States, and the 16th longest in the entire country. Lesser known factoid, the Susquehanna River is the longest unnavigable river in North America. .

“So forget any ideas you've got about lost cities, exotic travel, and digging up the world. We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and "X" never, ever, marks the spot.” — Indiana Jones . For the Cub Scouts of Pack 146 X does mark the spot, but only if they can follow the trail and decipher the clue that leads to the letterboxed treasure.
