Natur-Park Schöneberger Südgelände
Berlin, Dezember 2013
Der 18 Hektar große Park erstreckt sich über die frühere Trasse der Anhalter und Dresdener Bahn, den westlichen Teil des ehemaligen Rangierbahnhofs Tempelhof (1889 angelegt und bis in die 1930 Jahre mehrfach erweitert) sowie das ehemalige Bahnbetriebswerk Tempelhof Rangierbahnhof (1931 aufgebaut).
Nach der endgültigen Schließung des Anhalter Bahnhofs im Mai 1952 wurden alle von dort ausgehenden Ferngleise abgebaut und die Westhälfte des Rangierbahnhofs Tempelhof stillgelegt. Lediglich die Osthälfte des Rangierbahnhofs wurde weiter genutzt und das Bahnbetriebswerk zum Sitz der Brückenmeisterei West der Deutschen Reichsbahn umfunktioniert.
Die Reichsbahn beendete 1993 endgültig ihre Nutzung des ehemaligen Bahnbetriebswerks. 1995 übereignete die Deutsche Bahn AG dem Senat das Gelände.
Der Ausbau zum Naturschutzgebiet und Park erfolgte in Regie der landeseigenen Grün Berlin Park und Garten GmbH. Im Frühjahr 1999 erlangte er Natur- und Landschaftsschutz. Er wurde symbolisch 1999 eröffnet und war im Jahr 2000 ein offizielles EXPO-Projekt.
Schoeneberger Suedgelaende Nature Park
Berlin, December 2013
Schoeneberger Suedgelaende ("Schoeneberg's Southern Area") is a public park (180,000 square meters) on the site of a former switchyard in the centre of Berlin.
After final closing of Anhalter Bahnhof in May 1952 all departing railway tracks were deconstructed and parts of the switchyard Tempelhof were put out of service. The remaining parts were used by the East German "Deutsche Reichsbahn".
Nature took over in the disused areas, and in 1995 the Deutsche Bahn handed the area over to the City of Berlin.
In 1999 the area opened as park and nature reserve and was a Worldwide Project of EXPO 2000.
Over the years a unique cultural landscape of untamed nature, the relics of old railway technology and modern art has evolved in the heart of Berlin.

A combined team from the Nashville District and the Hydroelectric Design Center in Portland, Ore., which is the Corps’ national center of excellence for hydroelectric and large pumping plant engineering services, visited the Cordell Hull Dam Switchyard and is performing a district-wide assessment of the switchyards at nine hydropower project sites.

The signal box was rather small, because it was only for the shunting hump. This tower was in operation until 2006. Switzerland, Oct 3, 2019. (11/26)

The staircase to the abandoned tower. The stairs are steep with a short tread depth which is especially arduous when going down. Switzerland, Oct 3, 2019. (8/26)

A Davis-Besse operator closes the control cabinet on the an output breaker in the plant switchyard. The breaker, which brings power from offsite to service the plant, was replaced during the outage.
69KV lines leaving the hauto substation and 69KV switchyard. The lattice towers are PPL and i not sure of the owner for the wooden H frames are. They run from here to hamburg where they tie into MetED's system but are not owned my either company.

I went to the field after taking my English lessons at TGB Construction Site in Bahía Blanca. We took some pictures and learnt some things about the Power Plant. In this picture, you can see the switchyard behind me, which is now energized.

The Pelican Point 487 MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station at Outer Harbor is designed to achieve an energy efficiency of more than 53 percent.
Commissioned by International Power in 2000, Pelican Point uses natural gas from the Moomba gasfields in South Australia supplied by the Moomba to Adelaide pipeline (MAP) and gas from Port Campbell and Iona in Victoria supplied by the SEA Gas (South East Australia) pipeline. It operates two Alstom GT13E2 gas turbine generators and one steam turbine generator.

The entrance area. The signal box is located behind the large glass front. This is unusual for a signal box because these systems are sensitive installations with monitored doors and access recording. But this interlocking system does not serve the train traffic and is used for the train composition in the shunting station. Switzerland, Oct 3, 2019. (3/26)

The rail brake systems downhill, directly below the tower. These are pretty loud, and that's why there is the noise barrier in the background. Switzerland, Oct 3, 2019. (13/26)
The view from the back of the bunker to the entrance. There is even an emergency exit above the workbench. The parts in the foreground are igniters for turnout heaters. Switzerland, Oct 3, 2019. (21/26)

Looking through some pictures my daughter took in LegoLand I stumbled upon this one :-)
Apparently hump can also be understood as: a mound over which railroad vehicles are pushed so as to run by gravity to the required place in a switchyard.

Boldt converted the plant from being powered by coal to natural gas. The massive rebuild features the addition of four 225,000-lb./hr. natural gas/fuel oil package boilers and a 70,000-sq.-ft. plant expansion to accommodate the new boilers and additional equipment. Other project aspects include:
-Water treatment equipment installation.
-Upgrades to feed water and condensate collection systems.
-New air compressors.
-Upgrade to digital controls for both campus heating/cooling plants.
-Electrical system upgrades and additions.
-New 13.8KV switchyard .
-New 920,000-gallon fuel oil tank.
-Fire protection for the existing plant and expansion.
-New six-cell, 50,000-GPM cooling tower.
