    The road to exploring this abandoned steel mill was a long one as I’m about to explain. In 2019 as the Summer season was coming to and end and Fall was creeping in RiddimRyder and I had decided to plan a weekend long road trip to take advantage of the weather while it was in that sweet spot, not too hot and not yet too cold.

    We had set our sights on New York State with the pinnacle of the trip being an overnight sleepover in an abandoned State Psychiatric Hospital.

    But before we even set foot in the hospital, we had a whole day of exploring to get through, starting with a revisit to an abandoned nursing home and then a bit of a drive east to this old abandoned steel mill.
    Sometime around 2015 I had learned of this location through an acquaintance who goes under the name The Up Kid, he had posted some beautiful photos of this untouched steel mill that was entirely consumed by green overgrowth and vegetation inside the plant.
    The contrast of the nature that was slowly taking over mixed in with a century of industrial machines was a sight to see, I placed this as a high priority location on my map.

    The steel mill is humongous. Even with some parts of the building rotting, and the roofs falling apart, it looks structurally solid, perhaps because it was practically built using steel.The history and information on the steel mill was helpful to understand the background of the mill. My sincere condolence to you on the passing of your best friend, Victor, who was still in the peak of his live. May he be forever happy in his new abode, with his ancestors and people whom he loves. Life is just a transit.......I'm sure he would love to see you one day. As always, thank you for the beautiful video, in memory of VIctor.

    Sorry for your friend. I hope this place will help you keep his memory alive.
    In addition to the abandoned houses, I love the industrial locations also.

    As a native new yorker, even I'm amazed how many abandoned location around new york state. There's a few locations in new york city, including an abandoned military base and shipment dock with a sunken ship.

    This looks a lot like part of the Bethlehem steel complex in Lackawanna. Especially with the description that theres two active businesses to either side. Really really cool place. Tons of space to explore if you can get to them. Watched more and saw the building next door with the blue roof...i know exactly where you guys are!!
    EDIT: OH CRAP! I WAS WRONG! when you started talking about the uranium and thorium, it tipped me off....You were like 20 minutes North of Buffalo weren't you? I wont give away the place, but I know it!

    Imho, the story of the night trains should have been narrated over your video (posted by someone else as to not incriminate you). There are many such stories of the work in WNY kept secret for reasons such as law suits, historical shame, technological secrets. Since you spoke of this site's secret and young people have no idea, I'll add some extremely high octane speculation context. Western NY is a main site for the development of nuclear power. From making the carbon (National Carbon NF) from which Fermi & Szilard made the 1st pile (reactor) to go critical, to the model for Oak Ridge plant to condense radio active elements (Linde tonowanda), radio active gas dispersion research (hortonsphere at LOOW), raduim paint production (the famous green glow) (NF plant along bloody creek), zirchromium tubes fabrication (NF) for reactors and Union Carbide doing the same work as this plant. The trains consisted of armed troops for security and sacks of used reactor enriched uranium. A train would arrive at nite, be off loaded, rods outer surface ground off, reload traincar and leave before dawn. All under the watchful eye of the troops. While the generated radio active dust was dangerous, do some research as to what happens if any 2 rods touched each other (blue flash). I dare say few people alive today in this country could have the ability of working under these conditions. Extraordinary people inhabited WNY generations ago. Seems Saint-Gobain sees this areas availability of cheap power and mentally capable generation left behind as industry fled in the latter half of the 20th century. Not to mention the area's research and influence on rockets/missles and space travel as well as airplane building. Add birthplace of industrial ceramics to the list. Thru it all, no billionaires claim it as home and establish an inspirational STEM museum. In it's day, Niagara Falls could be considered the STEM center of the USA ... metal, ceramic, chemical, plastic, carbon production and fabrication for earth and space. It's history gone when my generation dies. Remember, loose lips sink ships.

    Thank You . This steel mill was a large
    place to explore. How long did it take. For you to explore it. Thank you for putting the history. About the steel mill. I wonder if they used it during the war. I was 8 years old .when they closed it down. Both of you have a safe trip. And a Great Evening.

    Wow im surprised that you didn't get a Grieger Counter to take with you because that place was the location where the country's first Nuclear Bomb was built , the radiation is probably still very high in that place it's definitely not a steel mill it was a plant for building the very weapons that destroyed Japan.
    The bomb that was built there was a big as a small sedan automobile.
