I love that this power plant and "eagle river" power plant which is very close to this one are on here. I work for an electric company in this city and have been on both of them. Such amazing buildings. Your works amazing dude keep it up.

It looks so...homely and inviting for an abandoned place,with all the stuff just scattered about and the lights still working

Those old torpedo Lincoln welders are the best welding machines ever made.

What you are seeing is a Lincoln motor-generator welding machine. Commonly used for "stick" welding around powerplants.

A Spence pressure reducing valve assembly.

Spooky.

Personally, I love how the Welding machine is in spotlight while the light right above is off. Simply gorgeous. Great eye Motts.

its a hand hole used for inspection

Funny place for a soap disp....er....lamp! To tie ones' shoes by, perhaps?

Absolutely breathtaking.

KC7Zee is right. That is an old welding machine, circa 1940"s-50"s. We had one similar to it at my plant for the forst few years that I began to work there.

Another one of my favorite shots ..

I feel like jumping in and taking a bath ^_^ join me !

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.
