What Is This? The Effects of Disease, Pollution, Or Chemical Defoliation?

This scene has been bothering me for a while.  I pass by every weekday to and from my sons' school and I always wonder: what is this?  If anyone can tell me, I'd greatly appreciate it.  It looks like someone's sprayed some sort of chemical in order to avoid the chore of manual pruning.  I see it along the railroad tracks that run parallel to the road, as well.  Not pretty.

I think it is a combination of exhaust and cold temperatures. I think there must be a reaction there that hurts the plants. Not much can be done about it.
