Photos: Machinery and Equpment August 2003


	One weekend, I went to look at the Machinery and Equipment Corporation yard in Brisbane, California.
	I was commuting down the peninsula a few days a week, riding the train. For the most part, there wasn't much to see.
	In Brisbane, there were things to see. There was a lagoon.
	There was a big yard full of used factory equipment. I wanted to see it close up.
	I went to see the Machinery and Equipment Corporation yard, and I brought my camera.
	Most of the machinery was fenced in, but some of it was sprawled outside.
	Some of the machines had interesting logos.
	Some of the machines made no sense.
	There was even a portable covered conveyor belt with a silly name.
	There were weeds. There was a grassy hillside. There were mysterious pipes.
	That's always good advice.
	This place had everything.
	There were mysterious control systems.
	Some of the equipment, in the fenced in lot still looked shiny and useful.
	Most of the machines were old and forgotten. The weeds poked through.
