philly.com – Changing Skyline Still not enough funding but Reading Viaduct is a park in all but name

CLEM MURRAY Michael Garden at the Reading Viaduct, now renamed Rail Park.

The golden summer morning was perfect for a stroll on the Reading Viaduct, Philadelphia’s answer to New York’s High Line. The difference is that Philadelphia’s version has no architect-designed staircases or glass elevators to bring visitors up to the postindustrial wonderland. To get inside, you have to venture up an overgrown ramp, bushwhack your way through chest-high weeds, then shimmy through a large opening in a chain-link security fence. Technically, it’s trespassing.
