This loco was used to move frozen meat, meat meal and hides from the Wyndham Meatworks to the port and move general cargo uploaded from ships there to the Goods shed. Steam locos were retired in 1960. The Meatworks opened in 1918 closed in 1986 after processing over 2million head of cattle.
Philadelphia Water gathered with partners and supporters of the City of Philadelphia’s Green City, Clean Waters program at the Fairmount Water Works on Thursday, June 16 2016 to celebrate the five year anniversary of the historic green stormwater infrastructure plan’s adoption.
Joined by U.S. EPA Regional Administrator Shawn Garwin, Pa. DEP Regional Director Cosmo Servidio and City of Philadelphia Managing Director Michael DiBeradinis, Philadelphia Water Commissioner Debra A. McCarty announced that City had surpassed five year regulatory targets, resulting in a 1.5 billion gallon reduction in stormwater runoff and combined sewer overflows during a typical year of rainfall.
This historic achievement was made possible through the public and private creation of 837.7 Greened Acres in Philadelphia, and many of the partners and organizations contributed were on hand to celebrate at the event, dubbed “5 Down.”
Under the 2011 agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection (EPA), the City was required to create 744 Greened Acres, representing a 600 million gallon per-year reduction in runoff and overflows, by June 2016. Overall, the City must create nearly 10,000 Greened Acres over at 25-year period and reduce typical annual overflows by about 8 billion gallons.
Each Greened Acre uses green tools such rain gardens and stormwater tree planters to manage at least 27,158 gallons of runoff from hard surfaces like streets and parking lots every time an inch of rain falls in the city. In addition to filtering pollutants out of stormwater, green infrastructure sites keep excess water out of Philadelphia’s overburdened sewer system, where overflows can lead to sewage spilling into local waterways.
The event also featured a special beer created by Saint Benjamin Brewery in Kensington to highlight efforts to protect the source water they depend on for brewing and a musical performance by Philadelphia native Sterlen Barr. Mural Arts and the Public Workshop helped to support the five year milestone celebration. Members of the Philadelphia Water Public Affairs Unit created a backdrop showing photos from green infrastructure sites and Green City, Clean Waters events held since 2011.

Living Lands and Waters (LLW), an Illinois-based non-profit dedicated to cleaning up America’s rivers, spent nearly two weeks hosting volunteer clean-up days on the Delaware River. Held Aug. 20 through Sept. 2, the clean-up effort was sponsored in part by Philadelphia Water and resulted in the removal of over 35,000 pounds of trash. Here, volunteers from Philadelphia Water and the Delaware River Basin Commission join the LLW crew for a Sept. 1 clean-up just north of the Betsy Ross Bridge that netted 26 large bags of recyclable bottles and 17 30-gallon bags of non-recyclable trash. For more on the LLW Delaware River Cleanups, visit Phillywatersheds.org.

Built: 1909 - Architect: Hilson Beasley (PWD)
The school was opened in 1911 following much discussion, notably in the 1907 report of Cecil Andrews, Inspector General of Education, who stated 'Australia must, sooner or later, fall into line with the rest of the civilised world by making Secondary Education a matter of State concern'.
Schools run by various Christian denominations had until 1911 provided most of the secondary education in Western Australia. An exception occurred over a fourteen year period, 1878 to 1892, when an institution simply called the High School, funded and managed by a state-appointed board of Governors, endeavoured, with limited success, to fill the gap. Many children remained in primary schools until the age of fourteen, when they joined the work force, either at home or in business and industry. Fees were charged in both state and private schools until 1914 when all state education in Western Australia became free.
The new school was modern in its teaching of science and in its stated intention to offer equal opportunities to boys and girls, to dispense with corporal punishment and to promote a culture of respect between students and staff. Most of the students entered the school on a scholarship basis which was an important factor in broadening the socio-economic range of entrance into higher education.

According to Teachweb the School developed a strong reputation based on the achievement of high educational standards and the successes of past students who include a Governor General, Governors, Prime Minister, 15 Rhodes Scholars and many other high profile, valued members of the community.
Philadelphia Water, the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, School District of Phialdelphia and the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary worked together to transform the Nebinger School playground into a green space that manages stormwater and serves as an outdoor classroom. An Earth Day ribbon cutting ceremony was held on April 22, 2015 where Mayor Michael Nutter, Philadelphia Water Department Commissioner Howard Neukrug, US EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin, School District of Philadelphia Superintendent William Hite, Partnership for the Delaware Estuary Executive Director Jennifer Adkins and Councilman Mark Squilla gave remarks and students provided Earth Day signs and posters. The green stormwater infrastructure featured at Nebinger includes a rain garden, bioswale, a porous play surface, porous pavers, a below-ground basin and a landscaped border.
Built: 1917 - Architect: AB Hubback (PWD) - Architectural style: Indo-Saracenic
The public information plaque at the Ubudiah Mosque reads as follows:
‘Ubudiah’ means ‘to surrender oneself to Allah the Almighty’.
In 1911, while convalescing in Port Dickson from an illness, Sultan Idris Murshidul ‘adzam Shah, the 28th Sultan of Perak, made a vow to build a mosque at Bukit Chandan Kuala Kangsar should he recover.
After recuperating and upon his return to Kuala Kangsar, His Royal Highness instructed Colonel Huxley of the Public Works Department, Kuala Lumpur to prepare a design for the mosque. Mr Hubback, the architect subsequently appointed for the job, adopted Moorish architecture in his design and Mr Caulfield, the Perak State Engineer, assumed responsibility for its construction.
Work began in Septemebr 1913 but was delayed because the original marbles, which were imported from Italy, were damaged in a fight between two elephants, at the site. The mosque was evenetually completed in 1917 at a cost of $189,000.00 (Malayan Dollars) but sadly Sultan Idris did not live to see its completion, having passed away in 1916.
In 1993, the State Public Works Department was given the task of increasing the capacity of the mosque. This was done by building extensions at the sides and staff rooms and wash rooms were also added at the back. It took 2 years at a cost of RM 2.9 million. Throughout construction, all precautions were taken to pereserve the Moorish character of the building and upon completion the mosque could accommodate 2,300 worshippers at any one time.
In 2002, His Royal Highness Sultan Azlan Shah, the 34th Ruler of Perak, instructed State Government to restore this mosque to its rightful glory. Under the stewardship of the State Public Works Department Director, Dato’ Ir. I Dorairajoo, a design was prepared by the State Chief Architect, Mr Shamsuri bin Moahmed while the Deputy Director, Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman, was assigned responsibility for its construction.
From the very beginning great care was taken to preserve the majesty and uniqueness of its Moorish architecture. Apart from restoration works to the whole building, the Prayer Hall was completely refurbished, air-conditioning was installed and its ceiling intricately reconstructed by a group of craftsmen specially commissioned form Uzbekistan. A new concrete yard was laid around the mosque and its surroundings re-landscaped, taking care that all elements complemented each other harmoniously. These works involved 9 different contractors and was completed in 3 months at a cost of RM 4.8 million, just in time for His Royal Highness’ 75th birthday on the 19th April 2003. It is the fervent hope of everyone involved in its construction and rehabilitation that the beauty and grandeur of this mosque will be preserved forever for posterity.
