The train is on the former Pere Marquette route. I can remember when they were building this plant when I was a kid. At the time, nuclear power plants had a designed lifetime of 40 years. They have had to keep them running well past 40 years. They have a visitor center.

The large silver pipes contain the steam going to the various parts of the turbine.
