OMIGOSH! Is that a lonely chair on the right?
Oh now THAT is cool. Oh and look there's the "lone chair" too!

Motts, is the bright light really daylight from windows overhead?
Bet it must have been fun to just sit and work thay all day.
I like the dark red standing out against the dirty, steel grey. Something about it is striking to me.
Great Lonely Chair Shot Motts!!
I wonder what the switches were for? Since they're 4-pole, I guess it's 3-phase Y connection at no more tha a few hundred amps. Maybe for the pump and blower motors ? Maybe 440 Volts? Yikes ! where was OSHA? Open switches.
Great shot! This place is unbelievable!
You bethca Bill! Look at all the nice hand grips on those, yikes! With the plant in operation for all those years, it makes me wonder how many got careless and got popped? Owwww!

Very wonderful to see this plant intact, a wonderful piece of history. I'm surprised it has not been raided and stripped, there's a fortune in copper in this photo! (Shhhh!) :o)
*waits for Dr E Brown to show up screaming* 1.21 JIGGAWATTS!!!!!!!
why is it in most abandoned places there's always a lonely chair
i can just imagine a worker in dark coveralls, a old looking construction helmet, and a clipboard moving up and down this checking things off on his clipboard. great!

(oh yeah... i seem to see things in places and pictures that people dont... people walking by the side of the road, a dog crossing the road.... and none of it is really there but it looks so real to me, i might see ghosts, but thats how i saw the worker here ;) ill say it again: great!)
