The Infamous ‘Drexel Shaft’ at 30th Street Imploded

November 15th, 2009 · No Comments


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.
