I’m now 87. My folks moved here when I was 4. I’ve been over this viaduct many times. I’ve never been inside the power plant itself. Thanks for the trip.
I’m old enough to remember when this power plant was operational in the mid-60s. Two iconic smoke stacks had landmark status at the south end of the building.
Ah I just remembering this place, i got arrested for trespassing here in 2018 with some of my buddies. To be fair we were being dumb but then again the detective and the two cops that found us acted like we were terrorists or something the way we were treated. Good times
I'm not normally downtown but i walked past this the other day, it looks like a freaking batman villain hideout 😭 and to think they built an UNSECURED apartment complex not even a half mile down the road. I'll take a ghost over whoever might lurk down there any day 😬
Super toxic land Fort Worth weekly did a story about it like 15 years. That's why it has not been tore down, I'm going to guess they didn't not tell all the people in those apartments all around it.
@@Zero-dy9sp if you go down by the tcc go down by the water there walk across the bridge there’s a gate that’s open walk thru once your in you’ll see a big gate opened if it still is went a couple weeks ago was open
if you see i actually went inside everything inside is falling apart its very dangourous so please dont go back there unless you like doing risky stuff
Water. Power plants need water. This one was coal fired. Large coal fires heat the water up into steam. The steam spins turbines that are connected to the generators. The steam produced is cooled some & returned to the river.

Thanks for watching my friend!
Me and my friend went inside and i still have footage of our exploration , it was also at night which made it 10 time more creepy.
That would for sure be creepier at night, you just never know who could be lurking in the shadows.
How did y’all get in
How did u get in
@@tonyatinney1060 I talked to the home people in the area apprently it heavily guard and they get into trouble just by being over there
@@Darkfireakumurecently went here a couple weeks ago had no issues at all there was a small opening near the gated fence to get in

Even something like a power plant was made with more character than any of these new buildings these days.
I looked at the power plant many times from Tarrant County Vollege Trinity River campus. The old Radio Shack headquarters.

There is also a very eerie and creepy underground tunnel section that leads to a dead end that has a very interesting painting one of the walls
We need to go back. I wish we could have seen that too!
were you arrested and charged for just going in or was there extra stuff you guys did like graffiti?
were the charges also heavy or like a light ticket? planning to go with some of my buddies later this month
Awesome video
Thanks For Watching!
Really cool vid
Thank you!
Subscribed, please keep making more videos these places are very interesting.
Really appreciate it my friend! I had been out of commission with an injury, but we are all ready to go again.
@@theoutseers I hope you get well soon.
Thank you very much!
I remeber seeing this as a kid. Always thought it was a neat impressive building
Y’all should go to Fort Wolters Training Site, it’s in mineral wells🤠
We will check it out- Thanks for the tip!
NEEDS TO BE DEMOLISHED

🤣🤣🤣 I hear you on the ghost option amigo that's hilarious!
I’ve always wanted to see what was inside… 🤔
I wish we had been able to get in.
I do agree too… 🤔👍
I worked here the last run summer of 2000. Night shift here would raise the hair on the back of my neck. I think it was razed 04 or 05.
That sounds creepy!!!! Thank you so much for watching
If you like this one check out the silos on main
Thanks, we will definitely do that.
explored this back in 2020 i really wanna go back
Me too, I wanna go in this time

Dang, now I'm glad I didn't get in. Sounds like a good article. Thanks for watching amigo!
Cool vlog. Did you come across any bats or owls while you were there?... gilcortez from beautiful Grand Prairie Texas
Hey Gilcortez, no unfortunately we didn't. But going back sometime next month so hopefully will see some. Thanks for watching amigo!
Cool vid ! recently went here you’re able to get inside as of now
Thanks, amigo! I may go back this weekend. Thanks for the update.
where I'd the opening ??
@@Zero-dy9sp if you go down by the tcc go down by the water there walk across the bridge there’s a gate that’s open walk thru once your in you’ll see a big gate opened if it still is went a couple weeks ago was open
I've seen it several times and thought it was a decommissioned plant but looking at this vid looks like it was never functional
if you see i actually went inside everything inside is falling apart its very dangourous so please dont go back there unless you like doing risky stuff
Thank you for the tip!! We will definitely avoid returning to this location. Thank you for watching!
Was thinking why would they put an electrical plant near the Trinity River since it floods from time to time.
They definitely didn't think that one through.
Water. Power plants need water. This one was coal fired. Large coal fires heat the water up into steam. The steam spins turbines that are connected to the generators. The steam produced is cooled some & returned to the river.
The below deck stuff was a seal oil room and electrical behind watertight doors.
I spelled college wrong.
Spent a lot of time getting stoned there
🤣🤣😅sounds fun amigo!
