The Seymour Generating Station on the Trent River near Campbellford Ontario. It was cofounded by John Kerry, an electrical engineering professor at McGill University and Cecil B. Smith, a Toronto engineer, who formed the Seymour Power and Electric Company in 1908. Its five turbines/generators, went on line in December 1909. Acquired by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario in 1916
A visit to Toledo Edison's Acme Generating Station and its unique electric railway in 1993, the year the plant was closed. The railway had an unusual "side trolley" arrangement (wire offset completely to one side) to provide clearance for loading hopper cars.
This shot shows locomotive No. 2 with the Toledo skyline in the background. No. 2 was my personal favorite in the Toledo Edison fleet. Built new for TE in 1924 by the Differential Car Company of Ohio, it features rounded ends characteristic of DIFCo's well-known trolley dump cars.
The last portion of the facility was demolished in 2013. The electric locomotives have been preserved by several museums / individuals. No. 2 went originally to the Waterfront Electric Railway museum group in Toledo, and eventually to the Northern Ohio Railway Museum.
Additional info on this locomotive can be found on the NORM website: www.trainweb.org/norm/roster/electricfreight.htm#TEC02
The start of a new series: Iowa water towers. This one in Cedar Rapids. This generating station is operated by Alliant Energy. Although I suspect that the 'ie' stands for Iowa Electric. The Station used to burn coal to generate electricity. It's been converted to natural gas. August 25, 2018
Since discovering that I can use javascript in Structure Synth I have been playing with sin and cosine function but the main elements were to regular. Here the javascript generated rules call a proper little L-system of 6 recursive rules to make it a bit randomer.
