wow, i love to explore old buildings like that, did you find anything interesting like parts manuals, keys or plans or anything in the operations offices?

I found a couple of really old dollies, and loads of spools. Also some old signs. But nothing like keys and manuels. I'll have to look harder next time I go on an urbexing trip.

i didn't get any photos but up in Michigan once i went with my biological father inside this old fuel pumping station, that used to refuel large barges before they ferried hundreds of cars across Michigan lake way back when. But the small community his cabin was in, was gonna bull-doze the whole pumping station thing and make a resort beach out of it, so he and me broke in and went prowling around looking for artifacts, since it was gonna be destroyed anyway. We found.. a Westinghouse 1920 parts manual, and the key that used to be used to turn on the main fuel pumps, and an old safety precautionary booklet for working with fuel that was dated 1918.

Unfortunately today... that was some 4 moves ago and I've lost it all :(

Would be cool if you found anything like that :D

That stinks. I actually took a very old metal fire extinguisher sign from a factory that was also going to be torn down. I have it hung in my room. It was a shame to see it torn down. The company that operated it started operating in that location in the 1700's. The oldest part was made of stone and from the 1800's. It was actually historic. There was a proposal to turn it into a performing arts center, but that was ultimately turned down. Now just the chimney remains.

Sadness...... Ah well, life goes on, i suppose.

yup
