I came across this rusty red piece of metal on a recent bike ride and, for some reason, became somewhat infatuated by it. It's essentially directly on the other side of the path from NCC Potter's Field.
I'm not sure the purpose of this little splotch of land other than that it is likely owned by the county. It seems just out of place, but perhaps a great place for a Halloween party. And this metal slab... is just fascinating.
Thinking about it now, there are railroad tracks for both Amtrak and CSX nearby, so this may be remnants of something they had done at one point.
Just in case it was not obvious, there are signs that there is, in fact, live wire overhead. As if the huge towers and humming wire wasn't enough of a clue.
I can't help but wonder the course of events that brought this simple, single slab of metal to this location to sit out in the sun on its own to rust away. It doesn't look too terribly old. I just have no idea what it could have been used for.
I cannot claim ownership of the piece, but I will submit this as a photo piece for #rustartwednesday hosted by
