Controlled Demolition, Inc sets date for chimney tower to topple.
The old PRR steam plant (now owned by Amtrak), located next to 30th Street Station in downtown Philadelphia, is in its last month of existence.
At 7:30am on Sunday, November 8 (back-up date November 15), the plant’s towering chimney, a landmark behind Penn Coach Yard for over 70 years, will be dynamited and dropped by Controlled Demolition, Inc. into a narrow opening between the CSX high-line viaduct and the SEPTA tracks.
