The clock, which was sold after Amtrak dumped the building, was returned to the Waiting Room in 2005.

It’s a straight view from the projection booth to the stage, but hell of a walk. At a fast pace, I think it would take 10 minutes to walk from this spot to the chair. Behind the curtains is a big white screen, so the theatre could be used for either stagework or moving pictures. The two projectors are set up for 3D movies right now–hence the little switch below the window–a Polaroid 3D synchronizer. Cool, huh?

Chutes connect the bottoms of the silos to a conveyor belt.

Can you imagine workers in a food plant smoking on the job today?

A little sheet metal box somehow made it back home.

A heavy steel security door, taken right off its hinges. This was likely installed after Grafton State School took over the hospital.

The end of Dock 5 is warped and bent from a rail accident that left some ore cars swinging like a stringy wrecking ball into the end of the superstructure and accompanying stair. The stairs are still navigable, but it wasn’t recommended by the CN workers that were with me.

The buildings were level with one another, so one could look through as many as a dozen factory floors from one window.

Looking up at the LEMP malting plant elevator. Look at that BRICKWORK!
