The missing tile in the darker room really lends something to the pic.

This is part of a burbine blade. Steam hit it and then powers the shaft that turns the generator to make electricity.

These are the boilers. Coal plants have boilers that make the heat that makes the steam through the boiler tubes running through the boiler box to power the steam turbines to turn the generator to make electricity.

I worked at a Nuclear Power Station for 12 years. All power plants are wired up both to the grid to feed power and also wired up separately to receive power when not on line (operating). Now you know folks.

Amazing to me, sometimes, that something as simple as a toy generates so much nostalgia and conversation. :-)

@Lynne and Motts: Nice to see your posts again. I have not been posting here in awhile but I am now back. Great new Pics, Motts.

It looks like the same type of wheel chair used in "Red Dragon" when he set it and the reporter on fire and rolled them down the street.

I just wanted to thank everyone for there comments in these threads about Pennhurst. They are all interesting to read. Esp. from the people that used to work there. They are all enlightening and some of the things that have occured at Pennhurst & many others like it is truely as shame & disgrace. Maybe some people were worse off than others & maybe some should not have ever been put in these places but to not be treated like a person & just some animal is horrible. Now I'm not saying this is what happend here or other places but if they did it is sad.......if we do not learn from our mistakes we are doomed to repeat them......

it is located in spring city, pa. you have to be careful though, this place is watched 24/7 with security. they drive around and patrol the area. you can get arrested for trespassing. There are tons of lost souls there that also keep guard. dont be surprised if you take a picture and see someone in it. they will not harm you, just totally freak you out! ha. this whole property was owned by the state and was never bothered but since than it has been bought out by a private owner whom plans on making this into a haunted attraction each year at halloween time. cant wait to get inside!

It's amazing that with the rest of the place falling victim to the elements, it seems immune. I know that is the point of stainless steel, but still it looks amazing.
