@mattblaze Love these industrial shots, Matt! The coal burning equipment was back from the original installation in the 60s and 70s but I'm pretty sure it was decommissioned decades ago. It's still visible because it's cheaper to retire on site. Fun fact, even though everyone calls the station Big Allis, only unit 3 (2nd from the left on your picture) is actually Big Allis.
