Umm, maybe aircraft caution lights, if it was at the top of the building near the roof?

10 square milles...? Likely one of the large freight yards was there before the trees.

mmm, Yes, I would think that working shutoff switches are one of those first things paramount to safety...

Wow, it likely would only take one sneeze (mini tornado) to make those disappear. I'm almost surprised there wasn't a better labeling system.

Judging by looks, it would have tossed coal around and, I imagine, created a lot of dust.

I think...steam-punked Pac-Man!!

...yup, back in the day when an injury at work was the way things were, instead of a lawsuit.

abstract art interpretation of the day:
Industrial Sculpture-horseshoe anvil.

In its day, I bet this was an incredibly noisy place to work. Now all that's heard is the sound of Mother Nature and Father Time making their rounds, creeping into every crack and crevice. They visit everyone and everything on a constant basis, but it is in lonely, barren places that were once busy too, that we see their effects directly.

I love the angle of this shot! It's such a large building!

THANKS :)

Very interesting perspective. Thanks!

Poised to do battle!

They look like claws!

That's a cool design. Very artistic.
