The Edgar Thomson Steel Works Photos

A slideshow of my photos of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, and Braddock Pennsylvania taken between 2021-2023. Although Pittsburgh is known as the “Steel City’, the Edgar Thomson Works, which is located just outside of city limits, has the last remaining blast furnaces in the area (and Pennsylvania). The Edgar Thomson Works was Andrew Carnegie’s first steel mill, and in operation since 1875.

My dad was 40 years on the Union Railroad. Started early 50’s firing steam engines then became fireman engineer. A workaholic suited for the Mon Valley!!

I was born in the 'Burgh in 1947 and grew up in Forest Hills, across the Westinghouse Bridge from this mill. Like painter Ron Donoughe says, there is a beauty about these mills, with their angles, smoke and fire, that has great appeal to we who remember The Valley Of Work, and its contributions to American strength and prosperity. Some of your shots remind me of Howard Fogg's paintings of the mills and railroads. Happy to find your channel!

Family from Braddock here. It was a rough town and the mill was a way of life, but people had a lot of love. You should show the faces of the people who worked in them. Then you have the whole story :)

Great photos. I spent 81-84 at ET. All the photos of the BOP, #1 and #3 Blast Furnaces, the OH Scrap Yard, the old slab mill and stripper. Nice job.

Wow you got a picture from every single angle, all with great framing. Surprising such a target would be so photogenic, great job!

Brings back memories of River Don Works Sheffield UK in the 1970's.

If I may make a suggestion for the next video: pan/zoom/transition much more slowly. Your work is good. Don’t underestimate your viewer… let us pause and take it all in.
Just some kind words, and looking forward to the next.

@@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853 I agree, I had so many photos, I should broke up as was getting too long. Thanks for input.

Excellent photographs, you really captured everything about the mill. Curious as to why you chose your first music selection, sounded more like the theme to a Friday the 13th movie.

[@fortfrickphotography5891]

Thanks. I think I was searching for something with a sort of epic / mysterious sound. The free TH-cam audio music files are pretty rough to find something that’s not too distracting.

I sincerely hope this plant isn't closed any time soon

Wow, if that’s not environmental friendly, then I don’t know what is!!
