I stop here every day and today was rewarded with a new gallery! Thanks! Mr. Motts, have you ever heard of the First Prize facility in Albany NY? It was a meat processing plant not unlike this one. I live near there and it's been vacant for a long time, although I think now part of it is being reused. I remember as a kid going by or anywhere near that place, the smell was horrible!!

I can't imagine those things could suck enough to actually pick a 165 pound body off the ground, I really can't. I heard that story on a show about Sloss Furnace in Birmingham, was that your place?

A very rare glimpse of intact, early 20th century engineering. Thank You!

This pic reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, with the pointy arrows and the upside-down numbers.

I'd vote coal if those two hoppers were grinders to powder it and drop it on a conveyer below taking it to the furnace.

They made a liar of me that tank to the left looks like pink fiberglass covered in canvas and mastic. Maybe its a repair?
