| 10 Camden waterfront looking north. [I moved this to the top because I like an overview photo first to help orient the detailed photos. Note that there is a topo map of the area below after the photos. Note the gasometer on the right side of the photo, the Pennsy Roundhouse near the middle, and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge near the top.] |

 |
| 2 Michael Andrescavage Sr Philadelphia the bottom of the photo is now I 76 and the tolls for the Walt Whitman Bridge. At the time of the photo, it was a PRR yard. The PRR and the RDC Co produce terminals can also be seen. |

| 6 Camden marine terminal Dave Boone: American Dredging Company yard to the right. Michael Andrescavage Sr: The old yard before they moved to Coopers Point, My Dad work for AD and retired from Weeks. |
 |
| 7 Beckett St Terminal |
 |
| 8 Public Service Camden coke plant Dave Boone: Spruce Street Pier at the top middle, ADCO yard to the extreme right. Michael Andrescavage Sr: Wasn't it a Gas plant? Now a sheetrock plant is on that site. Dennis DeBruler: Michael Andrescavage Sr Given the two big gas holders (Gas-O-Meters) that we see in other photos and the Public Service ownership, the primary product was probably manufactured gas. Of course, the way you manufacture gas is to make coke. |

| 11 Looking at philly from PRR yards at Camden. Glenn Schwass: So much industry that's all gone. The water had to be nasty by the different shades in areas. |

The yard is labeled "RR Ferry Slip" on this map. It is now part of a cement dock.

The track that curves to the north along the river still exists. It used to go to another yard. It now goes to a scrap metal business.
