A sure sign of better things to come....
Workers from the nearby Delaware Center for Horticulture were busy cleaning up along Gilpin Avenue beneath the Chessie overpass the other day.
They had already trimmed away the most of the weeds that made the site one of Trolley Square's most glaring eyesores. Now they were busy spreading mulch, presumably readying the ground for planting.
Were they volunteers? No, one of them explained. The Center has paid workers as well as volunteers. Was Chessie paying the Center to have this work done? Unlikely, and the workers didn't know.
All this is probably Chessie's responsibility, as owner of the adjoining property (the railroad right-of-way). But kudos to whoever is paying for this clean-up, whether it's Chessie or our good neighbors at the DCH!

We are very lucky to have the DCH here in town - they do so much to keep the city looking as well as it does.
I wanted to mention also that Chessie has not been Chessie since 1987 - CSX swallowed all that up in essentially the first merger of the modern railroad era (UP + SP, BN + SF, and the split of Conrail between CSX and NS). More detail here: here.
