These boilers look more modern than the boilers in the school I work at nights...It was built in 1949....

I can only imagine the people running these boilers had a pretty darned good job compared to some other jobs there,

Fire tube boilers each with two burners. The water to be heated is insde the tank and the fire / hot combustion gasses run through the tubes to the stack.

It's pretty amazing, all the work and recources that went into building, and maintaining something like this, and now it is just being left to decay...

Reminds me of Stephen King's "The Mangler". The one where that laundry machine was posessed by a demon and went after people.

I looks like something that Masumune Shiorw would do, but the best part about this picture is there is no nudity to make it horrible!

The great machines that were built by the men and women of yesterday eventually rust and decay into the modern ruins of today.
