HiDef: Cleveland Steel Mill Railroading / Arcelor Mittal's "The Crow" 

Lindo seus video❤👏

Steel mills are quite fascinating to watch in action, especially how they make use of locomotives during the process itself. Great video!

Used to drive steel mill trains in Sheffield UK in the 70's. Takes me back!

Whoever said Cleveland's steel industry is dead is very wrong. Thanks for sharing!

In 1995 I attended Ohio auto diesel tech.Everyday after class I would just go and ride around this place for hours and just watch everything,Between this place and the bridges in the flats I was amazed,We didn't have anything like this or the swing bridges where I came from.I returned to Cleveland last year for the first time since 1995 and it has really changed,

Haven't seen bottle cars in 30+ years in action.Last time was as a kid standing on overpass looking down in the bottle cars from McDonald US Steel works in the Mahoning valley.Always interesting to see been years. Thanks for sharing.👌

This is really cool to see! Growing up in Bethlehem ,Pa during the early 2000s I never got to see anything like this, no trains or running Mill. We have the last heavy forge in the US now though but their trains and switchers don't come out. Thanks for posting this! Really neat to see!

Very cool. Love the hot metal moves. Thanks for sharing

Great catch of the smoldering hot metal cars!

This was a great video lot'd pf modeling details.. Thanks for sharing..

Some hard working switchers

Superb video; this line is rarely seen let alone detailed so well. Thanks!

Looks like hot, spicy, bowl of soup coming down the rails! Very cool!

Sounds like home sweet home! lol Got a great shot of me in there BTW, Thanks! Working in the plant all day, I forget just how majestic these machines are. Are you a big fan of these little engines? Ever been inside one? I believe 1556 is in the RT building for it's overhaul, I can try to get you some video and pics. It may be in pieces tho....

Quite interesting video

Good industrial railroading. Excellent. There was even a shot (1:58) of some 'cattails' ……...hadn't seen any of those in quite a while....thought they were extinct.

When I lived out there, I drove my car right through what I think was that mill, though the roads were much poorer. I was hoping to see them pouring or ladling molten steel, but the weren't. A security car took interest in me and followed me until I left. That whole area is devoid of life, not even the tiniest weed, and sits in a canyon amid apocropical ruins, nothing like WWII or the 50's.

Nice video I see it there a lot when I pick up inside the mill there's 6of them at the mill

Nice shots! I miss seeing these , and Cleveland.

It used to be called the River Terminal Railway. X husband was a fireman and engineer there

In response to Intermodalman 123 It's not the trucks that could be an issue. It's the "friction bearings" that have an oil bath to lube the axles. They could have roller bearing axles on those truck. If the equipment is on an Industrial track(S),the FRA usually doesn't have control. As long as the cars are low speed & even if it does go on the main, it will be as safe. I am quite sure A.C's car department keeps friction bearing oil levels where they should be. My dad was a C&O Carmen & one of his duties was to check oil levels in friction bearings.

I'm surprised that my dad a supervisor there didn't tell you leave

I hauled a lot of steel out of that plant when it was l.t.v. then mittal.

nice footage,at 1:35 by the sounds of it you have a radio tuned to our frequencies.I guess that's legal-nobody owns the airwaves.

❤😍❤️

reading the intro the crow is a work horse that cool

Is the mill still up and running?

they still use bettendorf trucks, wouldn't it be horrible scenario if they failed on a bottle car

The SW1500 looks like a former SP unit

How is filming here? I head security is tight and they kick our railfans filming from the road. Is this true? Great video BTW I make it to Cleveland at least once a year and I have yet to film here

Thank you!

sweet. thx

I'd like to visit the area and shoot some video, but I've heard that security patrols will chase you away.

Great video! Good Joob! LIKE & FAV!:)

Did you need special permission to railfan at the Independence Rd railroad crossings?
