Westport Power Generating Station: 1906-2007

One of the most memorable days of my life for some reason. Me and my good friend Justin drove down to Baltimore on a whim to see this amazing power plant (which was actually 3 power plants in one). It was one of the most beautiful days I can remember and everything just went right. After climbing the stairs and catwalks that weave throughout the decaying structure we finally reached the top of the third building. This was the oldest building in the complex. The entire top floor of this building was an gigantic open space filled with coal cars on tracks and catwalks crossing the huge coal hoppers below. I have a whole photo essay on this building which I am currently scanning in but for now heres one of my favorite pictures.
