PECO Utility Tunnel
Here is most of what I know about the PECO Utility Tunnel, just north and east of the Schuylkill Arsenal Railroad Bridge. Obviously, more exact information and citations would be needed to create an article about the tunnel.

Unidentified Pennsylvania places on the list
Here is a list of red link places in this list of crossings.

Shawmont ?Wiki Connaughtown ?Wiki Ivy Rock ?Wiki unknown Swedesburg ?Wiki Iowa, not PA Black Horse ?Wiki Not a PA place Cromby ?Wiki Not a PA place Mingo ?Wiki not a PA place

Most of these places are shown as ?Wiki, meaning that they cannot be identified geographically the English Wikipedia, or else it seems that they may be a place elsewhere, (Iowa), but not in Pennsylvania. The issue is whether all these places should be in the list, or whether the bridge or dam end should be identified by township or other place identified in Wikipedia.

Also is an issue is the fact that most places upstream do not have links at all. In any case, advice or help is sought on these places, and on the list generally. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:33, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
