Blast furnace - slag crusher - rolling mill - #4 seamless pipe mill.....labor....stamper....hooker.....cropman....E.O.T. craneman. 70'-71' - 76'-79'.... Great job on the video!
me - 1/8/68 -1/8/98 retired under USS /Kobe - covered that mill from one end to the other & all in between - show that video instead of just more Blast Furnace & Iron &Steel - me - i am the "Midget " Pipefitter for 30 yrs. & unplugged many a toilets too lol - i did 12 yrs. in the Coke Plant as a pipefitter after i finished the apprenticeship because i was one of the youngest - then went back to # 1 Pipe Shop Pearl St. when we shut the Coke Plant down forever - now it is a shame what has happened to it - a way of life for so many families so many & years
It's amazing 7 miles upstream in Elyria, that river is a waterfall stream.was that a reservoir behind the river.i moved from Lorain in '77 the steel mill always fascinated me
I worked from one end of that mill to the other . USS/Kobe , US Steel , Republic steel. When was this filmed?
It's time the plant is leveled and that property is put to better use. No chance it will ever operate again.
Worked as a machinist in the electric shop for over 25 years=Worked on motors that could not be brought to the electric shop.That was thru out the mill.
I worked there on the blastfursnce s and all over the mill I hate to see it going to rust away d Monroe 😢😮😮
Hopefully, I included the electric shop in this video😊
What a "HOLE"
