Hoover-Mason Trestle: A Tour With Roger Malitzki

Retired Bethlehem Steelworker Roger Malitzki Sr. shares his unique insights about the former industrial giant on a walk along the Hoover-Mason Trestle. Malitzki worked at the Steel from 1964 to 1995, and was a blast furnace foreman from 1981 until the "last cast" marked the end of the Steel-making era in Bethlehem in November 1995.

Thank you for keeping this part of our history alive.

Roger was my father, I knew how he felt about the steel and America. We all have know people like him and how they have influenced all of us.They do not come back.
Do not look to rich people to make this nation one again but look to yourselves.
We can get through these trying times together as Americans no matter what .
God bless you all

I appreciate this immensely! Fascinating. I appoint Roger as tour guide. He is indeed correct they need to open it up for tours, renovate the old clown building into a hotel. I do believe it would quickly become a tourist and vlog persons destination.

It's a shame this is all shut down. America's steel industry is what helped us win WWII, and to build the skyscrapers, bridges, and other infrastructure of this great country.

great job. wish he could tour & narrate other areas of Bethlehem steel but I don't know how much is left.What an absolute shame

[@Bdpjev]

It kills me to see America broken like this. Greed on all sides is to blame

We as a nation can overcome the 2 idiots that will be our choices for president in 2024
One nation by the people for the people

[@stevewilliams6354]

So I thought Trump was going to get the steel manufacturing back. Why is the plant so quiet? Did he lie again?

[@sqr2024]

The Democrats stopped America.

[@theien5929]

This plant was a dead dog and shut down and dismantled before Trump took office. He was able to get started a few newer mills. For example, the mill in Georgetown SC. That mill had only been down a couple years and not dismantled.

As bad as it is now regarding the utter lack middle-class blue collar jobs I believe its going to get worse much worse.
