I was amazed to learn that your power plant is over 100 years old. I retired from the Hayden Power Station in Hayden, Colorado in 2002 after 25 years of service. Hayden is a much younger plant. When I hired on in 1977, life span for the plant was about 40 years. With care and modifications, it is still running. I was proud to work there and also enjoyed a family type relationship with my co-workers. I did everything from janitorial, water and coal lab work, warehouse and for a number of months coal handling operator. If I ever visit Washington DC again, it would be a privilege to tour your plant if that is a possibility.
