I checked your November photos right today. But how can be the Creek 
improperly located? It seems to me that it went originally along the 
substation between PRCo and RR right of ways and later was relocated to the 
left of the former car barn site.

Yes. Did you see the pix that I sent from my own private investigation in 
November? Now in the photo you sent, I believe Chartiers Creek is improperly 
located. The creek was to the right(in your photo) of the substation. I know 
because, although it was not too wide, I still couldn't get across to take 
closeup photos of the old Substation. The path(what looks like a path) going 
north and south to the left of the industrial building was the old RR ROW(I 
want to say Pennsy). This is where I found a rail spike that was probably 
from the RR, not the interurban. I want to go back again with some boots on 
to get across the creek. But Ed has warned me not to get too close to the 
Sub. as bricks may fall down. Doesn't look like it will be too long before 
it does indeed colapse.
  When I took my photos in November, I was standing to the southwest of the 
Sub. to the left of the old RR ROW on the edge of the creek.
