Shawmont Station/Flat Rock Dam

Took a hike down the Schuylkill River with a destination in mind and ended up finding something much better (which will be in a different thread). I got into the basement of the house only to quickly realize that it had a security alarm. I got out real fast, excuse the poor quality photos. Went on to the Flat Rock Dam which I believe is an old sluice. It was tagged like crazy but a lot of the old equipment was still there.















Flat Rock Dam




















Down the river a bit, I discovered this monster. Photos to come in a another post!

Yeah I wish I could could have gone through it. This house was a train station, part of the first railroad in Philadelphia in the 1830s.

Historic infrastructure turns my crank. At 200 years old that dam and sluiceway certainly qualifies. Thanks for sharing.

It's great to be alive!
