Assurgere

An abandoned news stand between the concourse and ticket booths. This is one of my favorite pictures from the 2000s.

The giant radiators in this casting shop look like a flag to me.

I did not take the escape ladder to the surface, but I am told it pops up in the middle of a hill next to the missile silo doors.

Interlocking bricks at the mouth of the stoker-less boiler.

The hoist signal dangling beside the modern mine shaft would ring a bell next to the giant electric motors that would send the men and machinery into the underground.

In the soft wood of the machine, an employee left their mark.

Power-up to cool down… would have been nice on the hot day I climbed on top of this machine.

The guts of the dock are connected with a long narrow hallway. Below this section are shops and labs.
