Worked at Southwark as a test engineer in late 60’s and early 70’s. The homeless woman appears to be in a small room that houses one of 3 elevator lift motors. Compared to the sad shape of everything else, the equipment seems to be in good condition. I don’t recall ever being in there. I appreciate the absence of swear words and your philosophical musings on how our society has changed. I look forward to your possibly going back for a second look. Perhaps you will discover the chemistry lab on level 2 of the boiler section that faces the east towards the Delaware, and the front office inside the West entrance. Frame 3:51 - Bottom of coal bunkers. Boilers 21 and 22 fed unit 2. Number 21 A coal feed funnel label shown. The plant changed from coal to “low sulfur?” number 6 bunker sea oil in late 1960’s. 4:36- Make up feed water demineralizer with cation an anion bed tanks shown. 5:31 -Perhaps the test engineers’ break room where we had coffee break every morning at 10AM. Room is unrecognizable though. 8:21- Unit 2 high pressure turbine showing feedwater heater bleed steam lines. This turbine drove unit 2 30-megawatt generator. 9:15- View of front entrance, where offices for 2 secretaries , the plant engineer, assistant plant manager, plant manager, results engineer, and one of 5 test engineers who did the daily “sheets” hung out. The TE on “sheets” duty compiled data on daily fuel consumption, average flu gas temperatures, oil and gas deliveries, etc. Too bad you did not film the front office which would bring back memories. 10:12- Aerial view of electro static precipitators that captured fly ash from boiler combustion. 10:15- 10:25- Aerial view of condenser cooling water chlorinator building at end of pier sticking out into the Delaware River below. 17:40- Aerial view of number 6 fuel oil storage tank for boilers 11, 12, 21, and 22. The other tank stored JP4 fuel for four outdoor peak load 20 megawatt jet engine/generator sets. The jet engine blades wore down pretty fast when always operating at ground level. Also note the parapet near the southwest corner of building where I goofed off just before I descended down to the plant manager’s office to tell him I was quitting because I was moving to Wisconsin to start a new chapter in my life.

It is so sad what people have to do to survive sometimes. I can only imagine how scary that place gets late at night. Speculators are driving up the cost of housing which will drive many more into the shadows. Our country has so many challenges, I wish we could find some common ground and work together to help each other. This journey was deep. I can't wait to see your Six Flags video. I spent a lot of time researching that place after it closed and then sat with vandals and nature taking over.

We have an old powerstation in London called "Battersea powerstation" that looks very similar. It's been converted into luxury flats now. Ashes to ashes.

P.S. If you return, you may explore the induced draft fans on level 8. They are big and were very noisy. I remember the plant burned 2100 barrels of oil per unit per day, but based the internet figure of .08 gallons per kw-hr, this amounts to 6800 barrels per unit @ 150 megawatts per unit. That is a lot of fuel oil! Each boiler generated 800.000 lbs per hour of superheated steam @ two boilers per unit.

I currently live with my parents in a 2017 2385 sq. ft. home on 1.25 acres of land. However, I would like to, for a while, instead, live alone in an abandoned building with power still on. I'm only 18, almost 19 and feel like I'm getting old already. I need some adventure. I need some alone time in a place where my mind can escape standard civilization. A place where I can remember who I am. I must, but where... P.S. Yes, I'm weird, but I don't care.
