The Turbine Hall
It's hard to appreciate the scale of this place given an image at web resolution - and this photo only shows about half of the entire space. Suffice it to say it's huge. Or at least really, really big. This station had eight turbines (one of which is visible in the foreground), although only four were active for the past 20 years or so.

This places is great. Its such a shame that they are moving at such a swift pace

I think this is Unit 3, which was mothballed 15 or so years ago. The 4 AEI machines were designed to run at 3000 rpm or 50 cycles for England but were speeded up (to 3600 rpm 60 cycles) for Canada. They had to mount extra weights on the generators because of some vibration, I was told. Other than that, I think they were pretty good machines. Units 5 and 6 ran for 40 years until Lakeview closed in 2005.

Looking at the photo again, I think this is Unit 6. It has been more than 20 years so you tend to forget things.
