| Railfan Pictures of the Week - 11/14/2021 |
| Took a trip to South Philly on Veterans Day and first stop was to see what was left of Greenwich Yard. The big thing missing is the bulk commodity business. |
 |
| In this picture from June 1992, you can see hundreds of open hoppers to the right filled with coal and ore. |

| The Growmark facility that used to receive bulk commodities like fertilizer has closed. |
 |
| In the weeds at what was the Pier 122 bulk commodity complex, the PRR ore mules sit rusting away. |
 |
 |
| The reason: Pier 122, the commodity pier under PRR/PC/CR is now a roll-on roll-off vehicle receiving pier owned by Hyundai. |
 |
| Everything else comes into the port in a box. |
