DAVID MAIALETTI / PHILLY.COM STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Sarah McEneaney at the site of what will become the Viaduct Rail Park.
HIGH ABOVE the Callowhill neighborhood on the elevated, long-abandoned Reading Viaduct railway bed, there is a swing suspended from the rusted ruins of the catenary wires that once powered trains to North Philly, Germantown, and beyond.
Bundled against a recent wintry morning, Sarah McEneaney sat on that swing as she has many times before, gliding gracefully through the frigid air with a warm smile, happy that her longtime dream will soon come true.
