Overgrown with weeds, crumbling concrete welcome's us! the forgotten ruins of an abandoned North American war-time industrial center. Once a bustling hub of industry and extraction, it now lies eerily silent, left to rot in the relentless passage of time. The towering structures we are exploring, once symbols of human perseverance, now stand as reminders of a bloody and trying era. Broken machines and rusting equipment serve as eerie relics of the past. Nature has slowly reclaimed this industrial powerhouse. Vines snake around crumbling walls, weeds blanket the ground, and trees push their roots through broken concrete. The once-busy environment now teems with animal life.
Scattered remnants of human presence linger here. Faded signs hint at the identities of the former workers, while forgotten tools and personal belongings telling stories of lives once lived within these structures and mine shafts.
Join us today as we explore this industrial ruin and mega monument to the spirit of man, we are reminded of the transience of human endeavors. The once-thriving center now serves as a poignant testament to the ever-changing nature of industry and war alongside the enduring power of nature. The abandoned war-time industrial site stands as a symbol of both forgotten decades, war and the relentless march of time. It is a place where history, nature, and the human spirit intertwine, leaving behind an enduring legacy for future generations, one that is being forgotten quickly. This is our last chance to see such a work of art, this is one you don't want to miss. Thank you, see you one the trail! #forgottenhistory #abandonedplaces #explore #americanhistory #americanwest #worldwar2 #abandoned #montana #yellowstone #wilderness #forgotten #forgottenplaces #america

Never worked in a mine, but both of my grandpa's spent their whole life in them, I have spent my whole working career in industries and have been happy for the work that air compressors have given me. I have much information that my grandfather's have shared combined with my lifetime of experience, I am happy to share what I know.

The Ingersoll Rand is a air compressor.

WW2 seems like it was so long ago, but I was adopted by a WW2 vet, whom lost two brothers in WW2, 1943, 1944. Meaning, my two uncles I never met, died in WW2. So, I know people, whom knew people. Three brothers from NC, died in three different countries.

That’s some history, it really wasn’t long ago maybe a generation at the most. Some really cool things transpired in the period shortly after and even before! thank you for sharing 👋

19:33 Just think; somebody hung those up and it was the last time. I wonder if they knew it was the last time, if they knew that nobody would ever take them down and use them again? one day, long in the afternoon toward evening they switched off the light for the last time. Drove home from work for the last time. Kind of sad.

Funny enough to mention we actually inadvertently recovered a picture that shows the exact time and date the shutdown transpired! It was written on the wall. Outback Jackie was doing some edits of her stills and spotted it in the background. I will post it to our community section soon. It is always a moment of wanderlust seeing these sites and thinking the same..Thank you for dropping in and happy to share the adventure with you!👍👋

Somebody probably already commented on this but anything Ingersoll Rand is generally a compressor and the tank outside is definitely an air tank for the compressed air That's how they round the tools to dig the holes to put in the blasting things whether it be dynamite or powder depending on the years

fascinating stuff, really is a rabbit hole to visit all these sites. interesting that a lot of our early explores are almost all connected to a mine. Sharing it and learning from simply being around history and the channel members is really cool! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience, interesting as well that powder was used..I have kind of overlooked that and really only considered dynamite. The big tank on the mountain area really stumped me and had yet to get an answer until now! Thank you👍

The Gardner Denver is also a big air compressor, both it and the Ingersoll Rand were driven by electric motors with a belt and pulley system.

interesting no battery tools then I’m assuming a lot you can run off compressed air. besides the machinery aspect almost seems simpler to run compressed air in a fixed setting for tools and other applications. thanks for dropping in a sharing your knowledge! appreciate it and many other’s as well do. hope to hear from you on the next one👍👋

Nice video O B J and Jackie. The porcelain GE thing at 12:09 is a fused cut out for high voltage. I have one just like it that I got when contractors wrecked out the old railroad signal and power lines in my area. Sure a lot of interesting things to look at there. So quiet and peaceful too.

Another nice video, that car looks to be maybe a 40 ish Pontiac or DeSoto (before my time) I'm 75. Thanks for recording these sites for the future the sites won't last too much longer. Just think in another 80 years or so some of our industries as we know them may look like these. Lots of hard working people once lived there, kind of eerie to walk around nice to have a companion there with you.

Aren't the tailings usually waste rock? Where would they have dumped the valuable ore to be taken to a mill? It would be nice if someone could stabilize this great structure!
@MountainWestProductions
@MountainWestProductions Месяц назад
Tailings are mostly waste rock, I’m assuming they had larger rough ore and what we are seeing is basically spill or low grade that did not get “tram priority” just a theory but would explain why it’s so fine and why no large deposits were on site. The structure is beautiful isn’t it? It really is a love hate thing going to these sites and seeing what is left behind… Beats a cookie cutter house by a million, the wood and weight dispersion along with engineering is really something. love it, thanks for dropping in and see you on the next one👍

I think it was a Buick, Charles mentioned a possible match on a 1950 Buick going through some pictures online. it’s really interesting and intriguing to imagine the story behind that car. Montana is relatively remote today but 1950’s it was basically northern Alaska.. It does look like a road master in comparison! should of looked for a VIN!!

Nothing there is steam operated. Those are air compressors The large tank was for compressed air. This place used a lot of electricity lots of old large electric motors. I wonder where the electricity came from
@MountainWestProductions
@MountainWestProductions Месяц назад
Interesting I wonder as well. The boilers there I thought generated some sort of motor function and electricity then powered compressors? That’s a good observation I was over looking somehow makes way more sense however! Thank you.

Ingersoll-Rand Imperial Type 10 is a steam-driven air compressor built in the 1910's. Look like it was connected to that AC motor between it nd the wenches to generate electricity.
@MountainWestProductions
@MountainWestProductions Месяц назад
awesome, see I thought steam but wasn’t sure. The machinery was pretty large. The outer casing and tank made me think it was combustion or fuel driven. Interesting, the site down the road was also steam operated. pretty cool stuff. thank you 👍👋

That is an air compressor. It wasn't generating electricity. It was powered by the electric motor to supply the mine with compressed air via that big air tank outside. Air was used to power the drills and muckers.

really like hearing this. I’m a plumber by trade and understand working with your hands and surrounding yourself self with knowledgeable gentleman really separates you from competition. I have had several blessings and opportunities in the field due to others similar to yourself passing down knowledge. It’s a shame when I see new hands come on and other journeyman don’t share the same mentality. Hard works hard and dedication is great if they got it give it to them is my mentality as well. happy to have crossed paths hope your day is well. 👍👋

@@MountainWestProductions I am a asbestos abatement project supervisor. Happen to be removing an old boiler at this moment. Asbestos is most dangerous when it becomes friable. IE disturbed and airborne. There is also a 25-30 year latency period for health concern. Fibers get lodged deep in lungs and have a barbed end that digs in and body builds scar tissue around it. More fibers more scarring less air function of lungs. Dangerous yes but not a concern if aware of danger.
