Posted September 29, 200915 yr Summer 2009 at the Ammunition Plant This 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. Knife Grinding & Die Shop (Building 217-2) Comfort Station (727-) Poacher House (Building 112) Power Pack House (Building 221-) 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. Click through to read more of Summer 2009 at the Ammunition Plant, which contains more photograph galleries from other buildings in the complex. 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!
September 29, 200915 yr Shermie, You must have one hell of an insurance policy because you love to take risks. You and Dr. Bombay certainly go out of your way to give us folks interesting topics of discussion.
