Welcome Mingo,

I was in your neck o' the woods this past weekend, visiting for Parents' Weekend at my daughter's college. Took a drive along Hwy 7, and was saddened to see they've closed down the two "pigtailed" blast furnaces Oh well at least they'll still have an electric melt shop, better than nothing I guess!

Road, now there thinking about bringing the Allenport plant to the Steubenville north plant,, bad news as we run several trains a week {The C22} to deliver the cold roll. This move may make 200 jobs but will also create a loss of 3 to 400 hundred.... ISG, then Mittal, now Esmark...jeesh

Several years ago I stumbled across an article in an old Trains called: "The Monsters of Mingo Junction" It was about one of the last strongholds of the big Alcos left in the eastern US. Fasinatin'!

Welcome aboard, Mingo. I spent some time at Mingo Junction train watching as a teenager, being a native of Cleveland. Sure sounds things have gone downhill since I was there last.
