Four more areas that were not enhanced or "fuzzy" are now visable.

1. Sumpter Valley Railway in McEwen, OR (Note train coming down the main!) You can also see where the line used to run.
2. Reading & Northern's Shops at Port Clinton, PA
3. Ohio Central's Morgan Run, Ohio
4. Steamtown in Scanton, PA.

Have fun!

Prior to the recent Google changes the area around McEwen and Philips Lake were higher resolution than now. In fact I could make out individual's vehicles. On the other hand, the resolution from Hwy 7 to Sumpter was so poor you could not discern the RR, the Sumpter Dredge or other prominent landmarks. Now overall the Sumpter Valley RR is visible over the entire length from McEwen to Sumpter. The resolution is not as high as before around McEwen, but much improved from Hwy 7 to Sumpter.

In the image you can see Hawley siding with side dumps and hoppers. Just to the right of the siding in the image is the passenger train returning to McEwen.
