The music to same with the video is very, very good!!!!! I have heard the music allone, at jamendo, but its not so amazing as to same with your video!! Very!!!!!!!! Good!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!!
Blackthorne, I must commend you on your series of videos around the Beitai steelworks. The videos are first-rate, and I come back to them again and again. I think this one would be my favourite of the series. Firstly, there's something quite atmospheric about the first two minutes: a line of cauldrons being shunted lethargically towards the sunset, accompanied by the echoing of distant metallic hammering. Looking at that scene, I can almost feel the chilly evening air coming down. As for that scene of the nocturnal slag pouring, it's like something out of a hellish nightmare. It is, as another viewer has described it, "industrial porn". I have a question for you, though. During the slag pourings, how is the tipping of the cauldrons controlled? Is it done remotely from the engine driver's cabin, or is there someone over around the other side of the cauldrons who controls the tipping on each bogie?
That is an idea but most of the slag consists of small pieces not large 'rocks' that would be most suitable for use as an artificial reef. It is probable that the slag would end up as a layer on the sea bed instead of forming a reef. I am not a marine biologist so I might be wrong. I have no idea about its toxicity.
If the slag could be used to build artificial reefs, the Chinese government would probably be commandeering it towards building its artificial "islands" in the South China Sea.
Sensational shots, poetry in steam and steel! Thanks for posting! Welldone!
Steel mills at night are an awesome and eerie place. Hopefully someday I can visit this place while they still use steam.
Use caution? I'll bet you did It must have been quite an education surviving that inferno! Brilliant video, though, and top marks. . . . . . . Alan
Another masterpiece....the SY at the beginning sounded very much like an Austerity 2-8-0 !

Excellent!
i wonder if slag could be used for artificial reefs? Is it toxic or anything like that?
