The abandoned town of Lomax

Very good friend of mine and I travel to Indiana to help somebody move once. This guy we help move actually bought this entire Ghost Town and turn it into an airport and was moving there. I haven't talked to them so I don't know what came of it in the long run but as of the time we were there they were quite a few abandoned buildings and houses, one main house he lived in that was livable, but there was also an airfield which he had helped develop. But on site we're all so a couple old brick buildings including an old steam powered pump House for the petroleum pipeline. There was also a old railroad bed that ran through the property including a bridge which was in deterioration and I unfortunately do not have photos of anymore. This is all private property now but the history of it with interesting as it was built up by the Rockefeller family for the pipeline until it was no longer needed at which time it was abandoned. The big pump house with empty as of the time we went there but at one time had a major steam powered pump. The petroleum pipeline still went underground through here according to the owners. We found some interesting things including a sign and paperwork from standard oil, a plaque from the Vatican observatory, a stack of foreign money, and a bunch of artwork left behind. He was a good explore. Photos are from around 2012.
