Anyone know where this is? There are no houses. There is a bridge like that going out past Coopersdale just off the Cramer Pike. But I have my doubts that this is the location because of the hills on the right.

I actually think you have it. Looking east towards Coopersdale, the tracks lead towards the west end. The hill on the right did throw me for a moment, but I think that's because we're seeing the hill on the opposite side beyond Coopersdale (above the C&BL building on Iron St.) as if it's on top of Morrelville and the west end.

Actually, I think you are correct on that. It looks towards Coopersdale eastward. The hill on the right is actually the hill beyond Coopersdale where Laurel Ave comes down from the West end. The perspective makes it look as if the hill obscures the west end, but it's actually beyond Morrellville, on the opposite side (North) of the river.
