The only remaining part of what was once the worlds largest fresh water port, the Philly Coal Pier is now a unique 3D graffitied landscape used mostly for fishing and disorderly (stone throwing) underage parties. In the 1800's the Port Richmond Coal Terminal was the Reading Railroad's port for loading coal from the eastern PA coal region.

Thermite welding is the most common method of bonding rail lengths in railway construction, as displayed at a rail yard in Burnie, Tasmania, on May 21, 2022.
Judges’ Comments: A thermite welder in action presents a fountain of hot metal fragments that cascades across this beautifully composed scene of railroad track maintenance. Captured through a telephoto lens, this image poetically depicts both contemporary rail welding technology and digital photography capability at night.

“My mother taught me this trick: if you repeat something over and over again it loses its meaning, for example homework homework homework homework homework homework homework homework homework, see? Nothing. Our existence she said is the same way. You watch the sunset too often it just becomes 6 pm you make the same mistake over and over you stop calling it a mistake. If you just wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up one day you’ll forget why.”
-Repetition, Phil Kaye

An ex PTC, now SEPTA PCC car is near the end of it's run. Don't know where in Philly this is, but I wish I'd have shot the bus! September 1972.

Constructed in 1927 and shut down in the late 1970's, this former steam plant looms above Philadelphia's Callowhill neighborhood, a former industrial neighborhood that is in the process of gentrifying.
Rail tracks (served by the Reading lines) ran along Willow Street allowing coal-laden train cars to pull into the building. This coal was burned to heat water which produced steam that was fed into a network of mains under the sidewalks throughout central Philadelphia.
Steam production began in Philadelphia in 1889, when the Edison Electric Light Company of Philadelphia realized it could sell the steam produced from it's new downtown power plant for use as a source of heating during the winter months. Today Philadelphia's steam network (the third biggest in the country) serves numerous residential, commercial and institutional properties in and around Center City.
Since it's closure, the structure has sat as a hulking industrial ruin viewed as an eyesore and blight to its surroundings. A proposal was put fourth in December 2016 for a nonprofit group to demolish the plant under PA Act 135 that allows organizations to act as conservators of blighted properties without using eminent domain.
