The red line shows the approximate location of a tunnel we used to explore back in 1973. We entered this tunnel through a steel covered door located down in the rail dock at the north end of building #16 or "new" #40 as it was commonly called. The steel ladder went down about 20 feet. This was one of our hiding places for taking a smoke break "if you know what I mean". The yellow star shows the approximate distance that I myself ever traveled towards the east. The blue star shows where the bomb shelter was, and it was still stocked with old cots and blankets and such. The yellow arrow shows where a front fender for a 56 Buick was laying against the wall. "And I tell you true" that it just barely had surface rust. There were always rumors flying around about everything and it was rumored that the tunnel went all the way to the A.C. plant on Dort highway. "I never did believe that". I think it was used originally for bringing water from the pump house at the river, and also had something to do with the old power plant located next to the river. |
