The imposing, industrial behemoth is constructed from heavily weathered iron, covered in rows of visible rivets, intricate exposed pipes, and complex mechanical gears spinning in tandem. Towering twin vertical smokestacks aggressively billow thick, dark plumes of black coal smoke high into a warm, amber-lit sky.
