Nice to see the mill still going strong. I remember when Bethlehem Steel's Sparrows Point mill outside of Baltimore was busy with trains coming off the PRR, B&O, and WM going every which way. Unfortunately, that's just a memory now.

Awsome job

Just like what happened in draper Utah now half of the Utah Draper line that challenger went on is now Ambandond now this

Was that a highnose C&NW geep?

A two car backwoods local beats an intermodal every time. 😊❤

I thought 1221 and all the Sd40-2 (500s) were working... sad to see these old locos rotting away.

Wow, that Rio Grande GP35, what a beast💪🏼🇺🇸

Fuck yes

Dang, I was all excited to see if the Conrail 1973 had any heritage…. Nope, built for Conrail in 1979…. she gots no momma, got no poppa, just blue goo right down to bare skins…. lol

Belo video mi estimado Amigo pelo Like, un saludo

The former Bethlehem Steel site in Buffalo (Lackawanna) was massive like this one, about 1,100 acres. Shame it’s gone, though it’s slowly being revitalized and repurposed to light industrial use.

I just LOVE the grittiness of it all. I am a FORD fan so that adds some interest. Does your drone do live sound? That adds greatly to the recording.

Every model railroaders wet dream

A casino. Yeah. When I think of casinos I don't think of Vegas or Monte Carlo or even Atlantic City. I think of the Windy City. Is this the last stage of get rick quick schemes or some shoddy waste of money to enrich someone who needs it as much as my cat does?

It is amazing to see 🇺🇸American steel works/ factories in operation! The trains and Laker add to the scene! Great stuff!👌👍

Great video of this MASSIVE steel mill that resembles a model railroad layout. The placement of the track is perfect to have access to each part of the plant. To see that steel through the top of car definitely looked like hot lava. Thanks again SLT for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort. Cheers from Laurel, Delaware.

I remember seeing so many hi-cube and standard 50ft boxcars in those yards as a kid. So sad that it's all gone now.

Nice catch of some great switching opps. The Short Line Railroads are my favorite especially when it comes to serving their customers. Thanks again for sharing this video with us. Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

Thank God for drones! Nice video, Sam.

Sam! Another awesome video! I was waiting for another one from you. These are industrial symphonies and you are a maestro! Stereo spatial sound too! Epic!

Very cool video Sam!

I wonder if anyone makes that car in ho scale. Should be a fairly easy kitbash.

kinda sad as there are 6 blast furnaces in your video of which only 1 is active now. so much offshoring of steel production will probably bite us in the rear someday

Once again some fantastic footage. That virtually is a city within the Detroit area one can't help but wonder how long it would take to walk the circumference of the plant. That unique in and out of the building and the track in between the two buildings sure makes it interesting along with that abandoned Highline. No doubt that structure was built in the earliest days of the plant. You passed over one of the bottle cars that was just glowing Orange its so bright it just stands out so vividly. It's actually quite a small engine house and when you swung around for the head on photo that unit was one of the special ones Ford ordered for the plant. No doubt someone still grumbles that a GM works at a Ford plant. Again many thanks for bringing current pictures and details to light.

Like the old Larry car up on the highline, with the plants growing out of it. You covered this part of the works area here. Is there more of the other areas of that industrial complex? Just curious, how far are you from your drone at the farthest in this video? Would it be difficult to go farther into the complex without losing control or taking a chance of losing it?

A fascinating video. It looks to me that the blast furnace is well and truly been mothballed. So do you know what happens to the iron ore pellets unloaded from the Lee A. 👍

This is cool, i worked for a railway for 21 years. Now im a expediter, i have been here, delivered parts for this facility and the locomotives

amazing footage , My grandfather worked at the Rouge plant , I am surprised at how run down it looks and that it is still operating ! I have to ask you , do you need permission to film something like that ? That is a landmark of Detroit auto history , at one time I believe that was the largest industrial complex in the world .

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing

Nice catches!

Overcast skies made for great filming. Nice job.

Great video of the Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Mill in Detroit, Michigan, Sam.

Steel mills are mind boggling operations. This is a fantastic video capturing the feel and action. Thanks!

Outstanding video Sam! Had no idea that this mill still existed.

Great video

😎 🆒️ cool vid 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃👍

At 2:35, did that used to be elevated track?

Thid is an interesting video of the engines moving hot metal cars in Cleveland Cliffs' Dearborn Works steel plant, Sam! From the drone footage the plant almost looks like it is part of a model railroad layout. I have seen at least one video of the Lee A. Tregurtha being loaded at the ire dock in Marquett, Michigan. Thank you for making the trip to Dearborn, Michigan to record this video! (24 June 2024 at 1841)

Cool i like this video

Thank you for recording and sharing.

Realy sad. What's gonna happen to the ROW?

SamLovesTrains: - As far as I can see, 59 years locomotive D&RGW 3044 2:53 - 4:50 is fine, alive and kicking. Thanks for sharing the video!

RR and print media fan from Boston here, this is excellent, so well done!

Despite the F unit's design nearing 100 years, to many, it still looks modern and smart! The SOU's green and white separated with a gold stripe is very appealing!

It's too bad Chicago is run by democrats

USA is going to 💩
