Great photos; I briefly explored the place when I was about 11 with my father...we were boating and decided to beach the boat to take a walk and ended up crossing the rails and finding this place. Must have been abandoned less than a year at that point, it was overgrown but otherwise looked perfect. Lousy industrial area, but really if the city ever crawls out of depression it would be a great place for condos, right on the water, make a footbridge over the rails and a little seasonal dock, the valley yuppies would flock...
