Lift

A squat building with a rail scale. Taken between rain showers in late summer, when I seemed to be the only one at White Pine.

Fergus Falls State Hospital. Well, technically moonlight… but a with stars nonetheless! The orange glow from the left and in the rear of the building are exterior lights on associated–former State Hospital–buildings. All other light is from the full moon that evening.

The American Victory next to M, seen late at night.

The city constructed a wall in the early 2000s to discourage visitors. Note the staircase is cut off, too.

Looking toward the old power house, right below one of its arteries.

No ambiguity here… miners, check in at this office.

This is what it might have looked like if a new Ford descended in the elevator with its headlights on. As seen from the Mississippi side–the opposite portal faces the sand mine.

Standing on the ruins of the former sister dock, looking back at the soon-to-be-demolished family member. The pilings I stood on for the shot were those of the Chicago and North Western RR #3 which was dismantled in 1960 and used to be 2,040-feet long.

In the corner of most of the factory floors, freight elevators flanked restrooms to leave more central space for machines and their masters.
