It was really neat to think about what happened here in 1895. Thomas Edison of the General Electric Company and Ellison Adger Smyth of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company witnessed the generators power up for the first time to be used for over 100 years. This plant is famous for the mass majority of CD 245 in the hobby being used on the transmission line.
