Historical Items
Historical photos or videos hosted on this site are public domain unless otherwise noted. Some more recent historical photos are re-hosted due to the archival and educational exception in copyright law.
Company Logos
Company logos hosted on this site are done so to educate users. They are shown in whole as not to change the meaning of the logo or to hide the company they represent. Because of this, their usage on NEPA Trains is fair use.
Trespassing
NEPA Trains does not condone trespassing or committing crimes. Do not trespass in abandoned buildings, or any private property for that matter! You can be arrested. Was that picture really worth it?
Locations
By default, NEPA Trains does not disclose the locations of abandoned or “at risk” places. This can go as far as censoring information from articles that can reveal the location of an at risk location. This is an effort to prevent vandalism, theft, and destruction of historical/scenic locations. Sorry.
There are some exceptions, however. A location may be made public if:
- It is a public facility.
- It has been completely destroyed.
- It is very well know.
