Was just there. Absolutely noting left

I have tons of info on this place. You missed all the best stuff totally and have no idea what the out buildings are life was like back then.

Somebody broke in and torn the place up, Yuck

Black plastic handcuffs at 5:48?

6:00 What you see in here are HVAC blowers and then the things on the floor are semi-hermetic type air conditioning compressors, but they have been robbed of all the piping that was on them.

4:30 - That's similar to the generator that was at another of the AT&T Long Lines bunkers in another video; the generator is a Detroit Diesel 12V71. Lots of old package air conditioners. After 4:45 in the next room you're looking at the fuel tank for the generator with two fuel pump motors on top.

2:10 - These are blowers for fresh air intake or some other kind of HVAC air handling. The round plates seen earlier that were over duct openings in the wall were for air supply, and the doors can be closed remotely, probably by the air pressure stored in the big pressure tank seen later around 3:30.

3:30 - On the far wall is a sewage ejector pump system. Sewage enters from the sides and exits on top. There are two motors visible on top later. Normally the sump is buried in concrete so it can be the lowest point in a structure but here it is above the floor. Also there are spring isolation bases under everything that look like they are intended to keep equipment safe from seismic activity. The large white tank is compressed air, I think. So maybe the isolation bases are there to keep air compressor operation from vibrating the floor, but the compressors are gone.

Definitely AT&T. The cyan/off white paint scheme is a dead give away

I love the Trane Compressor!

Two tuff,xmen,hot shots,big hogs...lol

I’m pretty sure this is the bunker that Hitler and Mrs Hitler committed suicide in. I’m almost positive.

The bldg about 20 minutes into the video is a motor pool.

The berms and concrete pads are missile assembly areas.

That building moved along that track and covered the missile until shortly before launch. The big round structure with all of the bolts and manhole was where the launcher and Athena missile were mounted.

Control and Commo cables were fed through those structures.

What a waste of a communications bunker… gotta California

Tried to get stationed there. Never could do it.

The room with the Dutch door is probably some sort of parts or tools dispensary. Usually, they are used for access control where something is checked out by a responsible party to an end user for inventory control.

I’ve wondered if LORAN would ever be used again as a backup to GPS. Looking at this video I’d say the firm answer is a solid “no friggin way.”

Utter madness and paranoia

I saw a newer video of this location a while back, and it's worse now than this due to all the scrappers. In that video, all the gensets were pretty much torn down, basically, just the blocks. With one exception of one genset, guess the scrappers couldn't get one of the heads off. Good lord, I bet there isn't a single fluorescent ballast left in that place. Now that I am thinking of it, I think that some of the fluorescent fixtures were taken in that hallway that you walked through. So sad. Anything that drug users will do to get their next fix.......

ATT communication bunker, I believe.

check out the park an museum in green river if you want the facts about this area utah launch complex of the white sands missle range and the faculity you were in

Hello my name is Angel i was there in the 80s for 2 years just saw this video crazy brong back many memories...

Owned by the coast guard initially. Abandoned by Obama. Way worse condition now. Lorane -C before GPS.

Mayra flash me please

I want Mayra to sit on my face

At 12:55 or so, you comment on a gray thing mounted on top of a 3 ft or so diameter concrete pedestal, and you question if it might be an air vent. That's a gamma ray detector. It used a piece of film that would melt when bombarded with gamma rays. That piece of film was mounted between two electrical contacts. When hit with gamma rays, the film would melt, the contacts would close and trip an alarm in the station. Usually this was used with one or two other detectors--a light meter (detecting the flash of a nuclear detonation), and/or an atmospheric overpressure sensor. A lot of times though, just the gamma ray detector was used by itself.

VANDALISM OF SUCH AN AMAZING HISTORIC AT&T LONG LINES SITE, THEY SHOULD HAVE LOOKED IT UP BETTER, I WOULD LOVE TO OWN IT.

That property could house thousands of homeless people! What the fuck is wrong with county politicians?

was there likelike 08 09 changed my life around forever grateful sadly returned today too take my dog hiking and they are currently demolishing the place so sad could have continued too help youth

Dude HOW did you get in?? I was here literally last week and had no solid entry points except through the side that directly leads you into the active side of the hospital but it was burnt so I ended up leaving

where is this located??

It makes me sad to see how vandals and thieves have destroyed this site with total disrespect for a historical site! I remember how it looked in better days, when my dad and I visited it back in 1978. My dad worked for PT&T and then AT&T, this was a L3 carrier main repeater station called Beacon underground, which was part of a buried coast to coast coaxial cable route. It was owned and operated by Pacific Telephone until 1/1/84, then it became part of AT&T Long Lines. In the main equipment room was bays of amplifiers, regulators, and equalizers. There was also LMX2 bays (multiplexing equipment), channel banks and group modulators. The bottom of the bays were mounted on springs! L3 cxr allowed for up to 1860 long distance phone calls on one pair of coaxial "tubes" ! I really miss those days, it was all so amazingly complex and interesting! All of this old technology has been replaced by fiber optic cables. And it breaks my heart to see how evil people have destroyed this bit of history! These main repeaters were spaced about 100 miles apart, with Mojave main repeater to the west, and Kingman main repeater to the east.

Been awhile quick video made on a moments decision audio not that great security was right outside and to be honest the building was a little sketchy with all the homeless.

I apologize for that last commit it was a copy past that I pasted here in accident...

Keep your commits to yourself @(#-_+_/ I ain't gonna say it

Excuse me I was mistaken 2001

May I had I was 17 turning 18 it's when I chose to stay volunteerly through the program.. blow it!!

I was stationed here 99. My situation here was slightly different... I had 1 week to go home.. so I volunteered after my week was over... I spend 4 months training, with my time their wasn't as the others... After 4 months.. still didn't go home.. when I was given the order to take a break and go home... I blew threw that all away... Never completed my e.m.t.. took the rap for one of my homies last it all that quick...

Who's recording this need to know

This makes me sad to see how evil people can destroy historical landmarks. I remember how it used to look back in the 70's. This was once called Beacon underground, it was owned and operated by Pacific Telephone, (PT&T) until 1984, after the break up of the Bell System, then it belonged to AT&T Long Lines. This was a main repeater station for the hardened L3 carrier coax cable route. It ran from coast to coast, Beacon was between Mojave repeater station and Kingman, AZ. My dad worked for PT&T, then later AT&T. He worked in the big regional toll center in San Bernardino, and maintained the L3 cxr from there to Mojave. Every 4 miles were smaller underground "huts" containing amps and regs. He and visited this station back in 1978. Inside the main equipment room was bays of amplifiers and regulators, and also some LMX2 bays (multiplexing equipment). Also channel banks, and group modulators. The bays were mounted on springs! One pair of coaxial "tubes" could carry up to 1800 long distance phone calls! Fiber optic cables have replaced all of this including all microwave radio! But I have fond memories of how it used to be, it was amazingly complex, and way more interesting than the long line system that replaced it! This was from another era, and it breaks my heart to see it all destroyed and vandalized like this!

Grew up here and went to that store many times. One of the only grocery store for miles.

them tweekers who striped everything now has asbestos of the lungs.

One room had large HVAC units that sent cool air under the floor to the Transmitter room to cool the transmitters. The copper thief’s really torn that place up! It took a lot of work to remove the stators from those generators, and I doubt they got a lot of money for it? Unless they went to a lot more trouble to remove the wires From the slots. That is a lot of work.

The cabinet with APC was a large UPS system.

Ah....so this is why that place got trashed so quickly...

Birthday gift i love it

so so many questions that will never be answered. awesome video thank u
