  @chrisluckhardt3 сағат бұрын

  Every culture does vandalism, although some are more barbaric than others. Giza's pyramids were stripped of their limestone caps and gold top centuries ago. Modern-day vandals around the world desecrate buildings and other structures. Then again, no vandalism or looting occured in abandoned towns closest to the Fukushima disaster.

  This structure was designed and completed in 1913 for an inflation adjusted $68 million. Fast forward to today, it cost Ford just under $1 billion to renovate...an astonishing FOURTEEN times more! Have the costs of regulations, labor and materials really ballooned that much?

•

  The station cost $15 million when it opened in 1913. That’s $475 million in 2024 dollars according to usinflationcalculator.com. Factor in the modern overhead costs you mentioned and $950 million to renovate and modernize the building seems logical.

  I was in the station as early as 1993 or 1994 working on rap videos and later Michael Bay movies. The first Transformer movie crew cleaned up a lot of the first floor , getting rid of the glass and chunks of marble and toilet pieces that had been thrown down from the upper floors. The safety engineers determined the building was safe to work in in terms of low asbestos levels since the constant wind blowing through the broken windows had dispersed and loose asbestos years before. One place I wanted to explore but never did was the basement, which was always flooded. You would nave needed a boat of some kind and we couldnt figure out how to get a boat in without being noticed.

  @@chrisluckhardt Those floors were not "empty" per se, but were used for old office equipment on the 12th and hundreds of file cabinets containing documents like payroll records, waybills, accounting and customs (Canada freight trains inbound & outbound) Some of these records dated back to the 1800s even though the MCS was constructed in the early 1900s. All of those records were disposed of by attaching canvas chutes to the windows and tossing them out and down to recycling containers. All of the other floors were occupied while I was employed, but I imagine that they began to empty out pretty rapidly after I was laid off. We had RR unemployment which @ the time was only $125 biweekly for 6 months on and 6 months off for 2 years total. If I wanted to work for another railroad, I would likely have to move to Council Bluffs, IA. My late father worked for the Chesapeake & Ohio RR and 2 of my cousins worked for the Grand Trunk RR. The eldest female eventually being promoted to CEO secretary. Both received generous severance pkgs when the RR was close to closing.

  The prices on this 1994 McMenu were 2-3x higher than mainland USA. It was due to shipping costs to remote and northern territories.
