The Chester Creek Branch railroad line ran from Lamokin Street in Chester, Pennsylvania to Lenni in Middletown Township, until 1971. It was operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), and later by Penn Central. The branch diverged from the Northeast Corridor main line near the now-defunct SEPTA Lamokin Street Station. For most of its length, the branch paralleled Chester Creek. At Lenni, the branch merged with the West Chester Branch.

“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
