ReplyDeleteYou have taken a picture of the 90lb death spraypainted on the floor of the warehouse. Circa November 2004.
ReplyDeletethank god
ReplyDeleteOh my...I know exactly where this is. Can be seen from the overpass between Ensley and Wylam Heading towards Birmingport. There Birmingham-Southern RR still runs through here and I have wanted to shoot this but never got around to asking permission. Excellent photos!
ReplyDeleteYou don't really need permission, just some long pants and the will.
ReplyDeleteHow have I missed this set. Amazing work. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly is this?
Ensley. Can't miss it. Can see it from the interstate for a few miles.
