Good Morning,
Great picture, but where was it taken? Being from Western PA. I can only guess about that with which I am familiar. Possibly along the Allegheny River? There are numerous places on the river referred to by such things as the distance from a town along the river, or by the length of an island in the river. These are colloquial designations and wouldn't mean much to someone not from that immediate area. For instance, there is a spot along the river known as "nine mile". I can take you to the area, but do not know for what it is named. Perhaps there is a "seventeen mile" area also. I say that based on what I feel are Hemlock trees in the background of the photo. And Hemlocks are the predominate tree in area.
Or, perhaps it was taken at the "seventeen mile grade" near Piedmont, WV.? The seventeen mile grade was on the B&O rail road and was on the Allegheny Front, Piedmont sat at the bottom the grade. I believe there's a good population of Hemlocks in that are as well.
Just a couple of guesses. Any other ideas?
