We have the same sad experience in the UK, like your country we lead the world and now we are one big industrial museum.

Are the only remaining operational blast furnaces in Ohio in Cleveland and Middletown?

[@timothyroatenberry1274]

No, there's one still in operation in Roanoke VA . owned by SDI. I worked there 20 years ! 😁✌

@@timothyroatenberry1274 I'm referring to other cities in Ohio that continue to have iron producing, blast furnaces.

I worked at the Coke Plant that supplied coke for the Blast Furnace very sad to see

[@timothyroatenberry1274]

We would get coke in the steel mill i worked at ! It thickened the slag to calm down the steel !👍

Surprised the politicians of congress weren't there throwing a party to congratulate themselves.

[@WAL_DC-6B]

And all the domestic "mini mills" that have taken away much of the steel production from these larger, integrated steel mills.

And now in 2018 it looks like steel is making a comeback.
