Reply to "Action at the Steel Mill. Friday 21-12-1972"

Thank you all.

Frank. That is a great photo of the ingot being lifted out of the soaking pit I would have dearly loved to have had the space to fully detail inside my buildings but with O scale in the room I have it's just impossible.

Here is another photo from yesterday. It's a quiet time at Waterside yard, this yard is the interchange yard for the Mill. All the trains for the mill go through this yard usually it is jammed with cars of all descriptions the Lackawanna loco moving a Mill Gondola of furnace scrap must be on loan to the mill this job is usually handled by the Blue (one shown in the photo with a low clearance roof) Republic Steel Switchers. Of course Big John might have grabbed the nearest loco to do this job maybe! A slab train has just pulled a cut of flats out of the Blooming Mill this train will then move forward to the tracks on the left and make it's way to the Rolling Mill where the slabs will be converted into Coils of steel for a customer.  Roo.
