The title is for the last two of the eight units that ran in this plant. The plant started in 1917.
The railroad beside the plant is NS/Delaware, Lackawanna & Western.

| Jackson Harrington posted An undated photo of Goudey Station in Westover, New York. In the foreground is Unit 8, installed in 1951 and the turbine in the middle is #7, built in 1943. The farthest turbine is unit 6 and was built in 1924. All three were manufactured by Westinghouse. Unit 6 was scrapped a few decades ago and the remaining two were demolished along with the rest of the power station late last year. Robert Swanson: How many turbine rotors just two? Jackson Harrington: Robert Swanson Units 7/8 had high pressure and low pressure rotors and unit 6 was just single cylinder |

| Jack Harrington commented on his post Units 3-5, demolished in the 1970s |

| Will Kane posted AES Westover Power Station, previously known as Goudey Station. Bob Adams: Spent $50 million on emissions control, shut down a couple days later. Makes perfect sense. Herb Sweet: Bob Adams I think its the tax break they get by spending the money on the emissions, doesn’t matter if they shutdown the next day or not. Paul Gill: the flood in the valley was close to the turbine deck floor |

Dennis DeBruler Fortunately the satellite maps have a time lag so that I can still grab an image. https://www.google.com/.../@42.1082594,-75.../data=!3m1!1e3 1943 #7 was 44mw and 1951 #8 was 75mw. They were shut down in 2012 just 4 years after $50m of pollution control work was completed. Jackson Harrington: Dennis DeBruler you can also see the section with no stack or precipitators where unit 6 would’ve been. |

"Battery Storage Project: On April 15, 2010, $22.3 million battery storage project at the AES Westover station was approved by the New York Public Service Commission. Unit 7 of the Westover station will be converted for the project, which will store 20 megawatts of energy until it is needed by the grid. The project will include ten 53-foot containers, each with inverters and a direct current (DC) battery system storing 2 megawatts. The battery storage project will be built in two phases with the first beginning in the second quarter of 2010." [gem]
