Hi. I worked there from 73 as a motor inspecot in the primary rolling mill then years later got the instrument apprenticeship and stayed in that position till 93. Then became a 20 point elctrician in the melt shop till it closed. It was a war zone. Cold in wimter hot in the summer. Noisy. C Aster was a great. Workd with a lot of great people at the time Thoigh i did not appreciate it at the time. As a kid i used to watch the united states steel hour woth opning scene being an over head crane poiring a ladlelof steel into the blast furnace. That always impressed me. Loved working in the mill although i might not have shown it at the time. A great job and great place to work. Glad trump is supporting our steel mills.
Unfortunately I have no idea where I originally found this video. I've been checking out your Acme exploration vids, nice. Saving the documents you found at the coke plant site is pretty damn cool too.
I got to wonder why ArcelorMittal hasn't installed an EAF at Riverdale. I can't imagine they are running chemistry critical grades that need ore based steel production.
