Summer 2009 at the Ammunition Plant 
Authored by 16:46:23 on September 28, 2009 at Abandoned | Comments | TrackbackThis is part two of a series on the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant. Part one covers the history of the plant pre-World War II, and the components of the plant through World War II. The following covers many of my recent trips into the complex.
Follow through for more photographs from the Knife Grinding & Die Shop (Building 217-2).
Follow through for more photographs from the Poacher House (Building 112).
One after another.
These were used to transport black powder from massive copper funnels.
Emergency slides for quick escape. These were used after an explosion in one pack house that resulted in several fatalities -- but thankfully, more were not injured thanks to these.
Follow through for more photographs from the Power Pack House (Building 221-).
Follow through for more photographs from the Power Plant (Building 401-1).
This room stored parts and supplies for M-Day. More on that in part three.
Yes, it has been unused since 1970 and is in almost immaculate condition.
Follow through for more photographs from the Power Plant (Building 401-2).
Follow through for more photographs from the Pump House (Building 402-3).
Follow through for more photographs from the Propellent and Explosives Area.
Be sure to check back for part three on the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant that will detail operations of M-Day and post-World War II. You can follow Abandoned on Facebook and on Twitter for the latest updates, sneak previews and more! |
