Weldon Springs

Took a trip out to the old factory in Weldon Springs the other weekend. Never disappoints.

Looking at massive, out-of-the-way, ruins like this makes me realize they will quite likely be around well into the next couple of centuries.
The key, of course, is being out-of-the-wayand in an area unlikely to ever be developed.

Nice work!

There are two of these identical buildings out there. There is something happening at one of them, there's a construction trailer set up next to it and they're clearing out the land in front of it.

Took a trip out to Power Station #2 in Mechanical City last week. It's gone.

Tntstory has been updated with new resources. Just wanted to pass this on.

Collection of Photos and articles from Col. Carl Dutton Commanding Offficer of the Weldon Spring Ordnance Works (WSOW) in Missouri.

Col. Carl Dutton was the first commanding officer of the Weldon Springs Ordnance Works. During his tenure from 1941 to 1943, Dutton compiled an extensive collection of newspaper and magazine articles about the WSOW.

The WSOW became the largest TNT manufacturing facility in the country at that time, with over 30,000 workmen employed at the peak of construction. By 1942 WSOW was producing approximately one million pounds of explosives per day, a fact which contributed markedly to the outcome of the war.

The big, long, coal hopper is like the one at Armour. Very cool.

Aren't both of them closed off by U.S. Property fence?

They used to be. Then they got demolished. Last February, IIRC.

Does anyone know the gps coordinates of where these were?
