(Satellite)

Christian Anderson posted two photos with the comment: "This old plant is still my favorite till this day. Good ole Ashtabula generating station. If I had the funds I would open it back up and refurbish this facility. Yeah I know what. Stupid idea cause o it’s going to cost to much money but it would be worth it cause I keep it going produce power for people that appreciate coal ."

Darrell Hauver: Where is this located?

Dennis DeBruler: Darrell Hauver Found it : https://maps.app.goo.gl/aFjtWPuAGYRgWu1N6. It looks like it got its coal from rail instead of freighter.

Mark Reichert: Being demo’d as we speak
