  Being that Edgebrook Siding was south of Bon Air Siding, I would guess that this is the future site of Smith Siding. The right hand
curve in the photo(if looking south) would be the point right before 
crossing rt. 51. Just my guess. Would be great if we had a photo like this with a train on it. It is weird to see no overhead though.

How about a very wild guess - emphasis on guess - at future site of 
Edgebrook siding looking south????????   Is that the curve up ahead leading 
into Bon Air siding???????

again, just a wild guess.
