Shades of Pink Floyd! I'm sure you've seen the power plant in Chester, PA. I can't recall if it's visible from Amtrak or I-95, but it's a terrific ride down along the waterfront from PHL south – lotsa history from the Lazaretto in Essington (bought & sailed a boat from nearby — strange air currents from outbound flights — slow & heavy), to Piasecki Aircraft & down to Wilmington.
