Location Description:
Located in east Sand Springs. There is what once was a large stationary crane built into a concrete structure. It has a large rusty boom arm with three large supports, and there are several large gears and cable spools in the control room on the upper level. There is a nearby concret foundation, old railroad tracks cover by sand and vegitation, and what looks to be like a storage bin for sand. My guess is that this place was shut down in the 50's or 60's. Doesnt look like very many people go there or know where it is. From what I can gather, I think this was a sand loading area for trains. Be advised, I'm pretty sure this area is private property because there is a gate on a road to get in the area that is locked. There are no fences, so you can just walk in. And a few hundred yards away, hidden in the brush along the river bank are more old concrete foundations and structures, I'm guessing for trains and loading of sand. If you are interested in going to this place, let me know and I can show you exactly how to get there, but only if you dont plan on destroying anything. Rundown places like this are becoming more and more rare, please try to preserve them.
