That was a small unit. I'm surprised that it made it into the 21st Century.

I wonder how close to zero it is now (Mar 2025).
Pennsy, instead of Reading, got the coal trains for this plant.

The Philadelphia & Reading Railway (P&R) station was built along the Schuylkill River (just off of Bridge St) in the 1860s. Service ended in 1981; the former station was subsequently adapted for reuse as an event venue, initially named "Columbia Station."

Pennsylvania Railroad Station, circa 1910.
The Pennsylvania Railroad passenger station was located on Vanderslice Street, just west of the Gay Street Bridge. The station was built by the PRR in 1883. It was an attractive landscaped depot with separate men's and women's waiting rooms. The distinctive building shown here was ultimately converted to freight use after passenger service ended in the early 1950s. It survived until a fire and was demolished in 1986.
