This is the rain-flooded second floor in one Budd building. The Budd Company built railroad and subway cars here until they closed the plant in 2003. By 2012, the Budd was perhaps Philadelphia's best-known abandoned complex. Some enterprising urban explorers even led tours of the place. You were rarely there alone, even early on a Sunday morning. Since 2018, new owners have pretty much sealed up the place and found tenants for parts of it. Between May of 2012 and January of 2019, I visited the Budd 35 times taking close to 5,000 photos
 

This is a shot of one Budd complex building taken from the roof of another. The five factory buildings occupy 25 city acres. Four more Budd pictures follow below.
