At time stamp 7:43..."SS Edward L. Ryerson is a steel-hulled American Great Lakes freighter that entered service in 1960. Built between April 1959 and January 1960 for the Inland Steel Company, she was the third of the thirteen so-called 730-class of lake freighters, each of which shared the unofficial title of "Queen of the Lakes", as a result of their record-breaking length. She was not only the last steam-powered freighter built on the lakes but also the last one that was not a self-unloader. Since 2009, she has been in long-term layup in Superior, Wisconsin. She is one of only two American-owned straight deck lake freighters, the other being John Sherwin, built in 1958."
That very ship could have hauled the iron ore that made the steel that went into the snowmover you just delivered.
R Hilliard 30 yr employee of Ryerson Steel.
Yes, I was expecting an F-16 to be taking off. That's the home of the Minnesota Air National Guard.
I've been missing that sound of freedom since October of 1993 when I retired from the Marines. Thank you Steve for your service in the Air Force.
thank you both and anyone else who served this country
The Ryerson was the last laker built by Manitowoc Shipbuilding around 1959.
WOW! What a video!!! I grew up in Duluth - great place to grow up. My folk's house was about 600 feet up the hill above the lake. I could lay on my bed, lean up on one elbow, look out my bedroom window, and see about 30 miles into Wisconsin. We had the same view from the dining room window.
.
I've got to watch this video again - it brings back so many good memories.
.
I left Duluth about 45 years ago to find work in Minneapolis. I really miss that view - I just didn't realize how unique it was.
.
You gave me a warm chuckle when you mentioned the "wheel" on the back of the "ship". In the Duluth/Superior area, they are called lake boats or just boats. The ocean-going ones are called Salties.
.
There has been a long push to make Duluth into a tourist town - but tourism only provides low-paying jobs. A lot of industry has left Duluth over the years because some unions have pushed too hard for too much money.
.
There is also a lot of "old money" in Duluth that significantly runs the town with a strong polarization of "white-collar" (old money) East enders and "blue-collar" West enders.
.
Duluth is a great place to visit - so much to do, so many things to see.

That is funnier than heck. Terminator couldn't find us in Duluth.
I`m from Duluth. Yes the hills! The can of worms project has the roads all mixed up. It screwed ya going up the hill. I would have told ya a different route. Little longer yet less hills. In the old days they used incline rail cars to go up and down the hill. Yes Duluth is a port city. shipping iron ore, wheat, coal, limestone and windmill parts. Superior is a port city too. Iron ore and a refinery town.
I delivered at that airport a while back next to the active runway the F-16s from the Air National Guard. That is cool watching them takeoff.
They have them at the Louisville Kentucky Airport also, right next to I-65. I used to drive by there twice a day and sometimes see them taking off or landing.
The Ryerson is in storage, basically, right now. I hear rumors about work being done to modernize it and have her back out moving ore, but nothing certain.
vessel had inspection of its boiler systems last year and heard all was operational
@andre-rg9rp Without self unloading capability it is pretty much useless on the great lakes
No worries Steve, the sound of those F-16's was priceless. Happy new Year to you and yours.
Not a truck driver or farmer but like your videos
You sure do know how to drive that truck
That’s the perfect weather for your Green Machine to keep you warm and cozy.
You got that right!
Most Former Air Force guys like the sound of freedom in Afterburner. Another good video Steve!!
Welcome to Duluth :) Old days they had trollies running up and down the hill. Lots of Iron ore and Grain shipped out of the port
Loved seeing the shadow of orwell rolling coal leaving that truck stop in the morning.
Thanks, Steve, for your USAF service and helping to keep US manufacturing jobs as a Professional Driver. I also miss some things about my 2 years, 9 months and 6 hours in the US Army, 1968-1971. I remember how I felt graduating from Basic Combat Training as an Expert M-14 Rifleman, in the top 5 of my Company. I remember "fixing" 6 months of incomplete paperwork and passing an IG Inspection with no "gigs" (negative findings). And the fragrance of pine trees, stepping off the Freedom Bird at McCord AFB after 1 year as a REMF in Vietnam.
Awesome! I miss hearing the jets take off. It's nostalgic to me. Amazingly I'm old enough for the nostalgia....
It's colder up in Superior because of the lake effects...go south and it warms up..
a bit. 😉 Wednesday, the 27th of Dec. I was at a gas station down near Brookfield Wi. I'm not sure were he took off from but a F16 took off close by and shot straight up and over us and was gone! He was close enough and loud enough to rattle everything near by! Was very cool!! Lots of us got a kick out of that! Great Vlog!
You should bring Jen back in the summer and enjoy the beauty all along the north shore, north and east of Duluth. It is so beautiful. Great for your bike!
Lots of great utv trails north of Duluth, up around silver bay, and then inland toward ely.
When you showed the overview of your route, I smiled and said he's going to climb the hill. 😊 Absolutely love the north shore of lake superior.
On the Edward L Ryerson, you pointed out her "wheels." Commercial sailors call those "screws," or props. And they refer to a ship as a she, even if it has a mans name.
12F in the morning and snow... yep, that's why I don't live up there!
It's ok, Steve, I've seen plenty of F-16's takeoff, fly and land. Seen plenty of F-15's, A-7's, F-4's, and even F-105's do the same. I have some vague memories of seeing F-84's too.
Some many things to answer for you. Going up old Piedmont was probably quicker to get to the airport, to jump back on 53. The detour, would have taken you up 194/Missaba Ave. Going down Missaba, you could have taken I-35 to US 2. Taking 53 is quicker to thru Superior. You are correct on what leaves port. Duluth is mainly iron ore. Across from the ore docks on the Superior side is coal. Those go under the Aerial Lift Bridge on the Duluth side. Superior entery has an ore dock as well. You drove under the conveyor system on 53 near the truck stop. The ship you saw loading is what is known as a salty, and was loading grain for market overseas. Its nice to hear someone talk about our view, and the amazement it brings. Seeing it everyday, kind of forget how beautiful it is.
After he came off the bridge the Goodwill on the left didn’t that used to be Goldfine‘s. I was there back in the 70s, if I remember right the upstairs where the windows are there was a restaurant.
@@jw2218 yes it was
@@jw2218 Yup. "Goldfines by the Bridge"
Nice driving 🚗 weather for you at the moment. Snowmobilers wanting snow ❄️ 😫 although! Nice video 📹 again 👍!
You went the best possible way. it is definitely something you should do on a motorcycle
skilled american trucker AND youtube content creator. That's impressive. I watched the loading of the snow plow last night. Glad to have found your channel
Hey, you used "The Brave Locomotive". Nice! Loved that short film.
Steve , you must’ve been up here on one of the coolest days we’ve had this year .. it’s been just crazy warm weather around here….im 60 miles south of superior
Great to be alive and enjoying the wonders you see. Superb positive attitude.
Not many people drive up to Duluth and there are few trucking videos of the city, which is a shame given how much industry and the canals formed both cities. I've never personally been to Duluth/Superior myself, but I have plenty of railroad videos from the area and a good thing to checkout is the Duluth Lift Bridge where you get to see the big steamer ships come into port along with international ships from all over the world.
My oldest sister has been there plenty of times. Me never been there but had to go to Minneapolis/ St. Paul many times. 😊
Thanks Sir for the videos you share. There's a lot to learn from an old style trucker like you. 🔝
The 12. 7 from the 60 series was a monster engine with a lot of torque for his time.
When you were taking the blower ro Duluth. Westbound, shadow of Orwell was the exhaust shadow which was pretty cool to see. Keep on truckin Steve!
Rand McNally makes an outstanding trucker GPS. I would strongly recommend them. Truck only routing
I got a fever...a fever....and the only cure is seeing more rolling coal footage.
Hey Steve, Great job and I love to watch air planes take off and land also. I worked at a local Big company here in Huntsville Alabama (till they closed). It was located next to the Huntsville Int airport. We were beside a runway. And my favorite thing todo was to watch them on my breaks. The President landed there and I got to watch that process. We were close to where the BIG Atlas cargo planes loaded and unloaded. Lots of planes. I would go in a little early just to watch. I would even take my wife and young daughters on the weekend to watch. Keep them wheels and camera rolling.
When you mentioned going down Messabi Avenue I said "Oh! You'll "like" Messabi Avenue - Jake brake the whole way down!" 435 foot drop in 1.7 miles - an average of 2.7 degrees or 4.8 feet per 100 feet. BTW, the Duluth Airport is 810 feet higher in elevation than where the Goodwill store is (which is just after you got off the Blatnik bridge).
That's funny AI trying to tell you where to go and it's flipping out and recalculating it just funny😅.
Yes that is how a airport in Central Massachusetts is set up. Worcester Regional Airport is at the highest point of the city of Worcester. Can be raining in downtown Worcester but the airport at about 1100 foot elevation would have heavy snow. 😊
I think i heard Orwell saying i knew i could,i knew i could.
The machine lost .....😂😂😂
Man...I wouldn't mind a summer home up there in the Superior/Duluth area! What a gorgeous area!!
Hi Steve enjoyed the video and your cartoon of the train puffing used to think some or the rigs I drove felt with way in the cold going up a big assed hills you and Orwell stay warm and safe catch your on the next ride thanks 😊
I felt the feeling of coming home unloaded, with a stunning view. "Another job well done!"
You lucked out this time last year we had 4ft of snow,live just outside of superior.
Been driving near 37 years, did about 17 OTR, I do kinda miss those days, a good majority of those days was with a flatbed, I grew up of Rt2 in Massachusetts, so I know the cold, gotta tell you, don’t miss my fingers being frozen from chaining, and tarping loads, told my wife one time that I missed the road, and she got upset thinking I was going to go back
One of the reason, I like to watch your videos, keep up the good work
Have traveled plenty of times on Ma-2 both directions when I did reefer up into the northeast for 10+ years. 😊
Great view coming down the hill. I’ve not been there for 5 years. Thumbs 👍 up on that ride.
we have a home in mn along the big lake shore line done that drive many times, the hwy construction stopped when they found a human jaw bone diging the ground ,the f16s fly practic runs over our house 60 miles away, love it up there
You should heck out duluth harbor cameras on you tube. They load Iron ore pellets, beet pellets, limestone, cement, road salt and wheat on great lake ships and ocean going freighters.
That's a really cool drone shot Steve!
Google Earth.
Must be an old video. Hasn't been cold in Duluth in weeks.
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Yep some cities the Google maps really can get you lost that been my experience. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
Being close to a airport supporting military aircraft does a number on any GPS system.
Thanks for the windshield time. Happy New Year 👍
Theres a famous youtube livestream bridge in Duluth for the big ships going under it
The wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald is a great song
Went through that area on a motor home trip out US2 to Montana. It was over Labor Day and the weather was quite pleasant.
Hi Steve. Its that time of year you will soon deal with a
bomb cyclone’s. LOL, Be careful out on the roads.
Minnesota Air National Guard is located right next to the International Airport.
148th FW 179th FS Go Bulldogs
Road construction! They are redoing that whole interchange right there. It’s been going on for at least 4 years already!
I’m from Duluth Steve and you took the right way to see the views! Sucks for trucks but the view pays off! Keep up the awesome videos and safe travels! Ship was getting loaded with grain.
Your rear cam did catch the second F-16. That is swweeet 😅😅😅
Good Job Steve, best trucking channel on RUclips!
Traveled Hwy 53 through Superior to Duluth many times.
Duluth MN is home to the 148th Fighter Wing. One of two Minnesota Air National Guard units.
If you go to Duluth, lunch or dinner at the Pickwick is a must
It’s home too, the best airbase in the country
Hi Steve love the views looks like a nice town
Did you grab a burger from Gronks staying at the truck stop? If not, you missed out. Also, its super cool seeing the route i drive to work every morning from a different perspective.
The truck is running great after all that good work.
The Edward L. Ryerson was a classic looking ship, very popular with ship watchers at the Welland Canal. I photographed it several times before it was laid up/
That view is really awesome! I’ve never been there. I appreciate seeing it through your cameras.
Hope you take the time to visit Duluth/Superior in the future. You are bringing back alot of memories and I can name every street you're on
My Dad drove truck for Jeno's back in the day. Crossed the High Bridge in the truck many times
I’ve traveled that route many times before. I was looking for the Maj. Richard Bong museum on the Superior side but must have missed it. WWII leading Ace, flying the P-38. Yes, those are steep roads. Thanks for your service, CMSgt USAF. 30+ years.
No clouds in the sky means all trapped heat by the clouds
Escapes back into space, it’s called radiational cooling..
No I’m not a meteorologist!! Happy New Year
Love your videos!!
Steve you are an admirable hard working man.yes doing what you need to survive. I wish you could had time to show us the plane that look like a fighter jet flying over your head in this video ( when you said " whoopee for me".😄
My grandparents imigrated to duluth from norway and were called "cliff dwellers " becuz Duluth reminded them of Norway.
(8-minute time stamp), s/s Edward L Ryerson; built in 1960, 730' ft long,, 75 ft wide. Powered by a 9,900HP steam turbine, driving a single fixed pitch propeller.. In long-term layup. a TRUE Steam Powered vessel.
Great job going up the hills of Duluth. I would go back through Proctor. It is not far out of the way.
Enjoyed your vidio. I remember the hills in Duluth well. Only thing different I would have done was took a little detour over to Ashland, Wi. Best pizza on the planet at a place called Franklin's Pizza. Ordered a jumbo with the works! Wish I lived closer. Long drive from Frostproof, Fl. LOL
I have a friend that winters in Frostproof. Do you know a Bill Klein from NY state?
No can't say that I do.
Great pizza right in Duluth and Superior - Sammy's Pizza. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
To bad all your winter deliveries couldn’t be in a giant shop
I was just at the Port of Duluth yesterday picking up some OSB it was a beauty day warm and no wind made for a easy tie down which was nice being my 2nd flatbed load.
@FSC Trucking one of the issues with Duluth is their roads are at an angle relative to the main cardinal directions (North, South, West, and East). Whereas Superior uses a standard street grid system at right angles to primary cardinal directions.
That's what makes that area so difficult to navigate for out-of-towners. I'm an out-of-towner as well and I found Duluth difficult to navigate in comparison to Superior.
That was neat that drive thru shop you went thru in this video.
42:32 funny, I was looking up the lyrics of that song just as Steve was mentioning it.
Great video Steve
35:40 that four wheeler was stupid just pulls out in front of a big truck that real smart
Hi Steve. I watch a channel on RUclips that does video's of the ships coming and going from Duluth harbor and yes definitely a lot of iron ore pellets are processed and shipped around the great lakes region and i think coal as well
the jakes on Orwell sound great
Lots of grain gets shipped out of Duluth too. On your way back to Wisconsin that was a grain ship being loaded. I lived just outside of Duluth for 7 years.
Not me thanking my siri or something or other to ensure I'm on their good side 🤣🤣🤣
Wow you are ballsy sir! Should have ran highway US2 west to I35 north to US53 north! Now you know for next time 😮😮
Being a Canadian veteran paratrooper, i trained and qualified US army jumper. The amount of aircraft you guys have is impressive and we loved our time in Benning and Bragg.
You can get your fill of take-offs and landings most days and some nights if you ever get back to the Hampton Roads area of Tidewater Virginia near Langley Air Force Base. This base has (among others) F-15, F-16, F-22, and a random B-1, not to mention various C-series transports.
Good evening brother stay warm
Absolutely love your choice of 3-D earth imaging. Where did you find it? I see it as potentially useful in model railroad layout design.
It's on Google maps
@@johnsherwood9960 Well Google has done a poor job where I want to explore. Flatsville, with a side of depression and distortion!
Hey Steve ..spray your tail lights with silicone . The snow and ice won't stick.
Best unloading location you've had ever.
You went the correct way out
Great ride. Thanks.👍
The air base in Duluth is the 148th fighter wing. Flying the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
For sure that's an amazing view but stop it Steve.....I'm gettin misty. Thanks for another great one.
My grandparents are from there and they are buried there now I used to go to Duluth for my summer vacation from Baltimore md
I never trust any GPS. When I 2as driving I relied on my atlas and common sense.
