Locomotive Factory
Dave Zupkovich
There is a locomotive factory, nestled in a ravine, that was closed about a decade ago. This record was lying around, and begged to be set up for a shot, the album cover was in the next room. The rest of the facility, which was much smaller than many of our other sites, was fairly empty. A few nice equipment storage rooms, but the massive empty warehouse was quite a disappointment.
The approach was prolonged, we didn’t want to take a path down that was too steep to climb. Our trip was cut short, although we were about to leave, by an unexpected visit from a truck; it drove right past the side room we were in and parked in the massive warehouse. Needless to say, our exit took a different, and much more steep, path than our approach. The entire set can be seen on flickr.

I'm an engineer by trade, and a photographer by hobby. In the fall of 2007, I bought my first digital SLR, a Nikon D40x, and haven't looked back yet. The majority of my photographic expeditions involve abandoned structures in Western Pennsylvania, but I'm never without my camera while on the road or at a Pirates game, and I have been known to take the occasional photo of a plant.
