VAPL-58 Power Station

The VAPL-58 power station is a set of fenced-in power lines and transformers next to a Power Substation, located south-southwest of Arefu, west of Vault 106.

Layout
The substation here is one of the few in the game where you have access to the roof. A fallen transmission line tore down a hole in the fences, making it possible for players to exit the power station without using the front gate.

Notable loot

 * Sugar Bombs are in the Eat'o'tronic 3000 to the right immediately after entering the building.
 * There is a Nuka-Cola Quantum lying on top of the workbench.
 * A Stealth Boy is in the back on the control panels of the station.
 * A copy of Dean's Electronics is by the safe in the substation.
 * The ladder on the east wall inside the station leads to the roof and a BB gun, BBs, and a copy of U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes.
 * On the hanging lights, just below the ceiling in the middle of the room is a mini nuke, you can either jump to get it, or simply shoot it down. (it will not detonate)
 * Just a short walk south, 96 alien power cells can be found at Fort Bannister Ground Zero.

Appearances
The VAPL-58 Power Station appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * When you are about to pick up the 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes skill book, it may fall into the roof with no way of reclaiming it.
 * When attempting to pick up the BB ammunition on the roof, the game may freeze.
 * There is a female mercenary stuck in the floor and is not visible when you first enter. Throwing a grenade in the room should cause her to spring out of the floor. This explains the blood on the floor near the terminal, but no body.
 * Upon exiting the building, a raider body may fall to the ground out of nowhere just outside the fence
 * If you sit in the chair on the roof of the station, you will be stuck, forcing a reload.
