[edit] Summary

Description	Photo taken by me at 40°47'8.36"N / 76°20'36.18"W in 2008.
Source	The copyright status and copyright holder of the original graffiti is unknown, but it might be regarded as "promotional material", "freedom of panorama", or too lacking in original content to be copyrighted. Legal objections to graffiti might also undermine the original authors' copyright claims on the original "artwork". A fair use case could also be made if necessary. Public domain release below regards my photography.
Date	May 2008

Permission (Reusing this image)	public graffiti

North of Ashland, Pennsylvania is a road to nowhere called the Catawissa Road or Old U.S. Highway 122, an abandoned and decaying stretch of asphalt that ends at vast heaps of mining debris toward the outskirts of the abandoned towns of Byrnesville and Centralia. Above this road it appears there once ran a railway overpass, long since abandoned, which either bridged a great chasm to the west or else predated it. What remains are heavy stone supporting structures to either side of the road, upon which have been sketched a variety of racist mementoes. Of these perhaps the most disturbing is the date, June 2007, which is echoed by other such comments scrawled up and down the road from 2006.
