Outbuildings

An abandoned ranch on the east side of the tracks. This was not the Colmor Cutoff they were waiting for.

Looking from the rail shipping building through pigeon-proofing chicken wire at another manufacturing building in high Fall.

Some of the internal staircases were fitted with cages that wound round down the stairs to deter suicidal patients from taking a dive.

This peak is a little over 7,000 feet high and is a popular hiking spot. As a bulky Minnesotan who is better built for an arctic expedition, I stuck to the mesa.

Scanned after being recovered from the bottom of an old wooden box for a few years. Circa 2005. The only photo I have showing the steam locomotive out front.

Rivets are sexy, and this old machine has more than a fair share.

From the street, it’s clear that almost every window and door had boards over it, but not every building had a roof. Silly priorities.

Ringling’s church was built in 1914 and sits on a hill over the town.

Without their walls these Solvent Recovery Line buildings look like blast walls. Their concrete inner structures were part of the design so if there was an explosion inside it would ‘blow out’ with a puff instead of a bang. Now most of these are demolished or overgrown.
