Upcoming Travel

I will be traveling at Christmas time, so perhaps I will get to see some industrial sites and post about them on this blog.  Our tentative plan has us traveling through the south, including some major industrial hubs, such as Houston, TX; Mobile, AL; and Columbus, GA.

A few years ago, I took some photos in Columbus, so I will have to look around and see if there are a few other industrial sites to photograph.

I am 99% sure we will have hot chocolate at Iron Bank Coffee, which is a former bank that has been converted into a coffee shop.  Typically, we meet up with a friend and hang out in one of the safes.  How neat is that?

I will keep you posted as our plans develop.

Thank you for reading my post.

Nitt Mine and Future Plans

I would like to write a paper for the SIA about the Nitt Mine.  I have not started yet but we had a good time touring the site a few weeks ago.  One of the coolest items on site was the boiler that powered it all.  Unfortunately, I did not get to spend much time investigating it on this trip, as the sun was setting fast.

The boiler was made by James Beggs & Co., located at 109 Liberty St. in New York City, NY.  I will have to learn more about this compay and its boilers.
