| Michael Davis posted Detroit Edison’s River Rouge Power Plant seen from the public park. Justin Wilson: Is that near the steel mill? David Chambers: Justin Wilson it's actually between zug island(pig iron manufacturing) and the main plant(basic oxygen furnace, steel rolling, gavanizer, etc) of what was rouge steel, but got bought out by us steel around 2004 ish. Tim Stehle: Didn’t Ford have a (co)generation facility at their River Rouge plant as well? David Chambers: Tim Stehle yes, it blew up in 1999. I worked on the replacement for it, CMS. It's across the street from where the old Ford boiler house was. The replacement has 2 hrsg, and three gas fired units that burn the waste gas off the steelmaking process. |
Since at least the piles of coal will be disappearing, I saved a satellite image.

| Craig Hensley Photography posted Urban Decay. The DTE River Rouge power plant sits on a 100 acre plot of land right off the Detroit River in River Rouge, MI. Once a main source of power for the city with 3 active generating units, the plant was shuttered in 2021 as part of DTE’s transition to “green” energy. This was the main entrance for the railroad to drop coal off in the staging yard. A plant switcher would grab the cuts and shove them into the unloader where the coal would be piled for the plant to use. If you look closely through the fence you can actually see the switcher rotting away. River Rouge, MI - January 2025 Nolan Skip Raspbury LaFramboise II: One of many industries that made River Rouge ‘The City of Industry’, a tax wealthy community providing the best schools and city services. River Rouge: home to Detroit Edison, Great Lakes Steel, Fabricon Corporation, Lipsett Steel, Great Lakes Engineering Works, Whitehead & Kales, U.S. Gypsum, Hanna Blast Furnace, Lindsey Oxygen, Sun Oil, Marblehead Lime, multiple huge rail yards, among others encircling a residential community on about 20% of its land. William Borg: Switcher is actually in good condition not long before plant shut down the engine was rebuilt at PSI last I heard it was for sale wanna buy it ? Lol |
