Taunton

Blair says:

"Had never driven into the substation at Taunton before. The road was always chained off and NO TRESPASSING signs and stories about an excitable owner was enough to keep me away.

"Now, no chain, no signs, and no respect by the kids whov’ve desecrated place over the years. The building and the mainline rest between trains; a dead freight is called at Othello, and the substation operator will soon crank up the juice so E-39 can head west for an overnight trip to Tacoma.

"Or so I imagine."

I was in there 2 years ago. It's sad how much vandalism has happened inside.
