Photo taken at the Santa Fe Railroad yards, 2003. This breaker box was part of a series in the secondary building of 4 huge structures. Built in the late 1800's and abandoned in the 1950's, the Rail Yard is a conglomoration of eerie stone and iron construction, towering walls of glass, and laticeworks of walkways nad stairs that lead up and up into darkness.

A breaker is a powerful percussion hammer fitted to an excavator for demolishing concrete structures or rocks. It is powered by an auxiliary hydraulic system from the excavator, which is fitted with a foot-operated valve for this purpose. Additionally, demolition crews employ the hoe ram for jobs too large for jackhammering or areas where blasting is not possible due to safety or environmental issues.Breakers are often referred to as “hammers”, “peckers”, “hoe rams” or “hoe rammers.” These terms are popular and commonly used amongst construction/demolition workers.
