DESCRIPTION	THE PLANT - This is 1/5 of a picture of one of the limestone quarries of the Atlas Portland Cement Plan in its early years.  This picture gives an excellent idea as to how the limestone was quarried from the rock face (the flat ridges on the cliff's wall).  The railroad tracks and empty wagons are still in evidence.
