These are from Bailly Generating Station located in Burns Harbor, Indiana. Bailly started generating electricity in 1962 and ceased coal fired electric generation May 31, 2018. I worked at this plant from November 2004 - May 31, 2018 when it closed and I retired with 40+ yrs of seniority.
EDITED TO ADD: I worked at 3 different coal fired generating stations all owned by the same company (Nisource) over the course of more than 40 yrs. I retired when they closed the 2nd station. I had planned on working another year but by choosing retirement, I received severance pay that was nearly equal to a years pay. With that said, to keep this photography related, no cameras were allowed on property. On my last 30 days, I brought a camera to record my work environment. What are they going to do? Fire me?
