| Dennis DeBruler commented on Dave's post I'm surprised that a plant that big generated only 100mw. https://sayrevillehistoricalsociety-blog.tumblr.com/ https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4786269,-74.3571155,256a,35y,90h,39.43t/data=!3m1!1e3 The brick building is from 1929 and the metal structure is from 1955. https://www.flickr.com/photos/penny_carlson/49417079286 Michael Berindei: Dennis DeBruler Units 4 and 5 were rated at 125 MW each, 100 MW is definitely not accurate. Maybe that's referring to the still active outdoor peaking units that are on the property. |

It was served by the Raritan River Railroad.

This would be the peaking plant that we presume is 100mw.
