Today the infamous ‘Drexel Shaft’ near 30th Street Station was imploded. The structure, located above the old Penn-Coach train station, was a steam power plant built back in the 1920′s. The structure was taken out of operation in 1964 and has remained empty ever since.
The structure was so-named by Drexel students upset over what they termed unresponsive treatment by Drexel administration.
